The  legislation  under  which  this  work  has  been  prepared  may  be  found 
recorded  as  follows  :  — 

[Chapter  374,  Acts  of  1889.] 

AN  ACT  providing  for  the  Appointment  of  a  State  Military  and  Naval  His 
torian. 

Be  it  enacted,  etc.,  as  follows: 

SECTION  1.  The  governor  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  council  shall 
appoint  a  suitable  person  as  state  military  and  naval  historian,  whose  duty  shall  be 
to  collect  and  compile,  within  five  years,  ready  for  publication,  a  history  of  the  part 
taken  by  Massachusetts  soldiers  and  sailors  in  the  war  of  the  rebellion. 

SECT.  2.  The  said  state  historian  shall  receive  as  compensation  a  salary  of  two 
thousand  dollars  a  year,  with  necessary  expenses  not  to  exceed  five  hundred  dollars 
in  any  one  year.  He  may  at  any  time  be  removed  from  office  and  a  successor  ap 
pointed  by  the  governor  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  council. 

SECT.  3.     This  act  shall  take  effect  upon  its  passage.     [Approved  May  28, 1889. 

Two  years  later  the  amount  allowed  for  necessary  expenses  was  raised 
from  five  hundred  to  fifteen  hundred  dollars.  The  legislation  under  which 
the  naval  portion  of  the  tables  was  prepared  may  be  found  at  the  beginning 
of  the  second  volume.  This  portion  was  in  noway  under  the  control  of 
the  editor  of  this  work,  but  was  kindly  placed  at  his  disposal  by  the 
Adjutant-General  and  Captain  Wilson,  its  compiler. 

The  printing  of  the  completed  work  began  in  May,  1894,  before  the 
expiration  of  the  historian's  term  of  office  (June  12,  1894).  Like  all  other 
State  printing,  it  has  been  executed  at  the  office  of  the  State  printers. 
It  has  been  under  the  direction  of  Hon.  Wm.  M.  Olin,  Secretary  of  State, 
the  proofs  being  supervised  by  the  State  historian,  whose  term  of  office  has 


PREFACE. 


been  twice  extended  for  this  purpose,  under   the   following   resolutions, 
passed  by  two  successive  Legislatures  :  — 

RESOLVE  providing  for  the  Renewal  of  the  Appointment  of  the  State  Mili 
tary  and  Naval  Historian. 

Resolved,  That  the  governor  and  council  be  and  they  are  hereby  authorized  to 
renew  the  appointment  of  the  state  military  and  naval  historian  at  the  present  rate 
of  compensation  and  allowances,  to  continue  for  such  period,  not  exceeding  one 
year,  as  may  be  necessary  for  the  purpose  of  supervising  the  publication  of  his  work 
and  for  the  proper  use  of  such  new  material  as  may  be  obtained  from  the  war 
department  or  elsewhere  during  the  process  of  publication. 

It  will  be  observed  that  these  two  resolutions  placed  upon  the  historian 
not  merely  the  ordinary  duty  of  proof-reading  but  of  a  constant  use  of  new 
material ;  and  this,  as  will  be  hereafter  seen,  was  a  serious  responsibility, 
both  for  editor  and  printers. 

The  final  legislation  in  regard  to  the  publication  of  the  work  was  as 
follows,  superseding  a  somewhat  similar  provision  made  by  the  Legislature 
of  1894: - 

RESOLVE  to  provide  for  printing  and  distributing  the  Massachusetts  Mili 
tary  and  Naval  History. 

Resolved,  That  there  be  allowed  and  paid  out  of  the  treasury  of  the  Common 
wealth  a  sum  not  exceeding  seven  thousand  dollars,  to  be  expended  under  the 
direction  of  the  secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  for  publishing  the  Massachusetts 
military  and  naval  history,  prepared  by  Thomas  Wentworth  Higginson,  state  mili 
tary  and  naval  historian,  under  authority  of  chapter  three  hundred  and  seventy-four 
of  the  acts  of  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  eighty-nine.  Said  history  shall  be 
published  in  two  volumes,  and  there  shall  be  printed  sixteen  hundred  copies  thereof, 
to  be  distributed  as  follows :  To  each  member  and  officer  of  the  general  court  of 
the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety-four,  one  copy ;  to  each  member  and  officer 
of  the  general  court  of  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety-five,  including  the 
doorkeepers,  assistant  doorkeepers  and  messengers,  one  copy  ;  to  the  governor, 
lieutenant-governor,  each  member  of  the  executive  council  of  the  year  eighteen 
hundred  and  ninety-four,  and  each  member  of  the  executive  council  of  the  year 
eighteen  hundred  and  ninety-five,  the  secretary,  treasurer,  auditor  and  attorney- 
general  of  the  Commonwealth,  and  the  private  secretary  of  the  governor,  one  copy ; 
to  the  adjutant-general,  one  copy  ;  to  each  reporter  regularly  assigned  to  a  seat  in 
either  branch,  one  copy ;  also  one  copy  to  the  soldiers'  home  in  Chelsea ;  to  each 


PREFACE. 


post  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  in  the  Commonwealth,  one  copy  ;  to  each 
free  public  library,  one  copy  ;  to  each  city  and  town  in  which  there  is  no  free 
public  library,  one  copy ;  to  the  state  library,  twenty  copies  ;  to  the  state  military 
and  naval  historian,  twenty  copies  ;  to  such  historical  societies  in  the  Common 
wealth  as  may  be  designated  by  the  secretary  of  the  Commonwealth,  one  copy 
each ;  to  each  state  and  territory  of  the  United  States,  one  copy  ;  the  remaining 
copies  to  be  held  by  the  secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  subject  to  future  calls  or 
to  be  sold  at  a  price  not  less  than  cost. 

Resolved,  That  chapter  ninety-four  of  the  resolves  of  the  year  eighteen  hundred 
and  ninety-four  is  hereby  repealed. 

It  will  be  seen  that  it  was  left  absolutely  to  the  discretion  of  the  State 
historian  what  kind  of  work  he  was  to  prepare ;  nor  could  he  obtain  any 
more  specific  instructions  either  from  the  governor  who  appointed  him  or 
the  member  who  had  introduced  and  carried  through  the  legislation  creating 
the  office.  The  following  letter  will  establish  this  fact,  and,  though  Colonel 
Carpenter  is  not  now  living,  there  can  be  no  impropriety  in  publishing  it :  — 

BOSTON,  MASS.,  April  4,  1895. 

MY  DEAR  COLONEL  : — Upon  reaching  home  from  a  Southern  trip  this  morning 
I  found  your  favor  of  April  1.  You  are  right  in  stating  that  the  bill  for  the 
appointment  of  a  military  and  naval  historian  was  mine,  and  you  are  also  correct  in 
the  view  that  there  was  no  understanding  in  regard  to  the  manner  of  your  procedure, 
but  it  was  left  entirely  with  you  to  carry  on  the  work  as  you  deemed  best,  without 
restrictions  whatever.  It  is  true  I  called  your  attention  to  the  history  of  the 
Vermont  troops,  which  I  regarded  of  value ;  but  in  view  of  the  criticism  I  am  very 
glad  to  state  that  the  matter  was  left  entirely  to  your  good  judgment  and  discretion 

in  formulating  the  history. 

I  am  very  truly  yours, 

GEO.  N.  CARPENTER. 

To  Col.  T.  W.  HIGGINSON,  25  BUCKINGHAM  STREET,  CAMBRIDGE. 

A  similar  letter  was  received,  about  the  same  time,  from  the  late 
Ex-Go v.  Oliver  Ames,  who  made  the  appointment ;  but  it  is,  perhaps,  a 
little  too  personal  for  publication. 

The  word  < '  history "  in  the  original  resolution  seemed  to  imply  a 
narrative;  on  the  other  hand,  the  words  "  collect  and  compile"  seemed  to 


VI  PREFACE. 


imply  a  compilation.  The  recent  record  of  Vermont  volunteer  troops,  to 
which  Colonel  Carpenter  referred  me  as  a  good  model,  consisted  wholly 
of  tables  and  statistics,  with  no  narrative  at  all.  I  therefore  decided  to 
combine  these  various  elements  in  the  best  way  I  could,  always  limited 
as  to  time  and  expenditure  by  the  very  narrow  conditions  of  the  appro 
priation.  The  result  must  be  judged  for  itself. 

My  thanks  are  due  to  Capt.  Charles  TV.  TVTLson  of  the  Adjutant- 
GeneraFs  office,  to  Mrs.  Mary  A.  Livennore  and  to  Mrs.  Florence  W. 
Jaques  for  the  portions  of  the  book  to  which  their  names  are  especiallv 
attached.  Mrs.  Jaqnes  has  also  been  my  principal  assistant  during  the 
greater  part  of  the  progress  of  the  work,  and  my  thanks  are  also  due  to  mv 
admirable  special  assistants.  Miss  Grace  Reed  and  Miss  Eva  G.  Moore ; 
and  also,  at  various  times,  to  Miss  Grace  Cook.  Miss  Carlena  \Valker,  Miss 
Louisa  TVinlock.  Miss  Mary  A.  Toye  and  Mr.  Roger  Gilman  of  Harvard 
University.  I  have  received  important  aid  through  correspondence  from 
Maj.  E.  \V.  Everson.  Mr.  F.  B.  Heitman  of  the  \Var  Department.  Mr.  T. 
S.  Townsend,  Captain  Frederick  Phisterer,  Mr.  J.  C.  Ropes  and  many 
others.  I  am  also  greatly  indebted  to  the  Wright  &  Potter  Company.  State 
Printers,  for  constant  aid  and  counsel.

INTRODUCTION. 


The  plan  of  this  book  differs  in  detail  from  that  of  most  of  the  State 
publications  called  out  by  the  Civil  AVar.  The  rosters  of  the  various  regi 
ments  had  been  published  in  detail,  in  the  large  work  prepared  by  the 
Adjutant-General  in  1868  and  1870,  entitled  "Record  of  the  Massachu 
setts  Volunteers."  That  work  was  published  at  the  expense  of  some  sixty 
thousand  dollars,  and  was  in  most  respects  faithfully  and  admirably  exe 
cuted ;  but  it  had  two  great  defects, — the  one  avoidable,  the  other 
unavoidable.  The  defect  which  might  have  been  avoided  was  the  absence 
of  an  index,  this  making  the  use  of  the  book  almost  impracticable  except  to 
those  who  knew  in  advance  just  in  what  rank  and  regiment  to  seek  for  a 
given  soldier.  In  other  words,  in  order  to  use  it,  one  must  know  in 
advance  a  large  part  of  the  information  which  the  book  itself  was  intended 
to  convey.  This  defect  is  now  partially  remedied  for  the  Adjutant- 
General's  department,  but  not  for  the  public,  by  an  alphabetical  card 
catalogue  recently  made,  giving  simply  the  name  of  each  soldier  with  the 
number  of  his  regiment,  but  without  the  dates  of  service.  This  is,  how 
ever,  unprinted,  and  is  not  available  to  the  community  at  large. 

The  other  defect  was  unavoidable,  and  grew  out  of  a  condition  of  things 
which  may  yet  continue  for  many  years,  and  must  steadily  impair  the  value 
of  every  book,  however  carefully  prepared,  which  undertakes  to  give  details 
in  regard  to  individual  officers  or  soldiers.  To  the  civilian,  nothing  seems 
more  fixed  and  definite  than  the  military  status  of  every  one  who  served  in 
the  army.  On  the  contrary,  nothing  was  and  is  more  fluid  and  changeable. 
It  is  now  more  than  thirty  years  since  the  war  closed ;  but  the  constant 
revision  of  papers  at  the  Record  and  Pension  Office  at  Washington  is 
steadily  correcting  dates  of  muster,  dates  of  discharge,  reports  as  to  death 
or  desertion  and  the  grade  of  officers  themselves.  Private  John  Smith, 
for  years  reported  as  a  deserter,  may  now  turn  out  to  have  died  in  a 


Vlll  INTRODUCTION. 


Confederate  prison ;  his  brother,  Capt.  Edward  Smith,  commissioned  as 
lieutenant-colonel  but  never  mustered,  may  now  be  retrospectively  mus 
tered,  and  recognized  as  a  field  officer,  not  a  line  officer.  The  giving  of 
brevets,  which  became  one  of  the  most  profuse  and  reckless  practices  of  the 
war,  and  after  it,  has  happily  long  ceased ;  but  new  brevets  have  been 
issued,  from  time  to  time,  to  correct  errors  or  deficiencies  of  old  ones.  All 
these  various  changes  are  supposed  to  be  notified  from  the  War  Depart 
ment  to  the  officials  of  the  State  which  they  concern  ;  in  some  cases  they 
are  not  so  notified,  and  are  obtained  in  answer  to  inquiry ;  but  the  actual 
notifications  come  to  Massachusetts  at  the  rate  of  three  hundred  annually, 
or  nearly  one  a  day,  and  it  was  the  constant  receipt  of  these  which  led 
in  1889  to  the  official  abandonment  of  the  Record  of  the  Massachusetts 
Volunteers  as  an  authoritative  work.  It  is  very  possible  that  a  similar 
continuance  of  official  changes  will  within  twenty  years  supersede  the 
present  work.  It  may  be  necessary  to  inscribe  on  it,  "  Good  for  this 
decade  only."  This,  however,  is  a  matter  beyond  the  editor's  control. 

If  it  be  asked  how  it  is  possible,  in  view  of  the  complex  records  and 
tables  supposed  to  have  been  kept  by  every  regiment,  that  the  ultimate 
facts  need  so  much  revision,  the  reply  is  that  it  is  due  in  some  degree  to 
the  very  extent  of  those  documents.  What  may  be  called  the  book-keeping 
of  our  volunteer  army  was  borrowed  from  the  book-keeping  of  our  little 
regular  army.  It  had  suddenly  to  be  expanded  from  thousands  to  millions, 
and  this  in  the  hands  of  a  vast  number  of  officials,  hitherto  untrained, 
thrown  into  the  tumult  of  war  and  obliged  to  pick  up  hastily  from  one 
another  the  knowledge  they  needed.  In  some  cases  the  regimental  adjutant, 
upon  whom  all  these  matters  finally  depended,  was  simply  a  well-drilled 
militiaman,  utterly  without  training  in  red  tape ;  in  some  other  cases  he 
was  a  man  of  red  tape,  without  any  training  or  natural  gift  as  a  soldier. 
In  either  case  confusion  resulted.  The  books,  moreover,  had  to  be  filled 
out  amid  toilsome  marches,  after  defeats,  sometimes  during  the  battle 
itself.  Often  the  required  monthly  returns  were  not  forwarded, — the 
Adjutant-General's  early  reports  are  full  of  complaint  of  this,  —  sometimes 
they  were  lost.1  A  single  such  loss  might  wholly  vitiate  the  statistical 

"Many  of  the  regiments  had  lost  their  books  and  papers  during  their  two  years'  service  in  the 
enemy's  country,  and  with  them  their  muster  rolls."  (Massachusetts,  Adjutant-General's  report, 
January,  1864,  p.  8.)  As  to  the  small  value  of  the  original  descriptive  lists,  see  Bosson's  42d  Mass. 
Infantry,  p.  iv. 


INTRODUCTION. 


record  of  a  regiment  or  confuse  the  whole  personal  record  of  an  officer  or 
soldier.  All  these  broken  or  scattered  threads  have  been  in  the  process  of 
constant  comparison  and  readjustment,  ever  since  the  war,  both  at  Wash 
ington  and  at  each  State  capital.  Questions  of  pension  and  State  aid 
demanded  this  constant  revision.  As  years  go  on,  the  documentary 
evidence  becomes  a  little  more  complete.  On  the  other  hand,  where  there 
is  a  gap,  it  often  grows  harder  and  harder  to  fill  it,  for  the  only  men  who 
could  supply  the  missing  link  now  may  be  dead  or  wholly  lost  to  view. 

History,  it  is  now  the  fashion  to  say,  is  "an  inexact  science."  Con 
sider,  for  instance,  the  perplexities  arising  from  the  complicated  confusion 
of  names  among  150,000  State  volunteers  in  a  war  of  thirty  years  ago. 
Among  the  first  27,000  names  of  volunteers  to  whom  bounties  were  paid  in 
Massachusetts  the  following  names  were  repeated  to  the  extent  named 
below:  John  Williams,  23  times;  John  Smith,  21;  John  Brown,  20; 
William  Smith,  18  ;  John  Kelley,  16 ;  John  McCarty,  16 ;  John  Murphy, 
James  Murphy,  John  O'Brien,  James  Sullivan,  each  14 ;  Charles  Smith, 
12  times ;  and  so  on  indefinitely,  down  to  857  names  which  were  simply 
duplicated.1  In  many  cases  these  men  are  now  unknown  or  forgotten  even 
in  the  towns  which  they  gave  as  their  residence  or  enlistment.  No  human 
power  can  now  unravel  these  perplexities ;  and  even  among  the  smaller 
lists  of  officers'  names  there  is  a  full  share  of  them. 

It  has  also  been  a  serious  obstacle,  up  to  this  time,  that  the  Kecord 
and  Pension  Office  at  the  War  Department,  Washington,  D.  C.,  has 
hitherto  been  hermetically  sealed  to  historical  inquirers,  although  its 
internal  arrangement  is  undoubtedly  admirable,  and  all  definite  questions 
properly  forwarded  through  the  Massachusetts  Adjutant-General's  depart 
ment  have  been  promptly  and  kindly  answered.  By  the  efficient  action  of 
Senator  Lodge  a  statute  has  now  been  passed  permitting  a  fuller  use  of  these 
archives  in  the  future.  This  permission  has  come  too  late  to  be  of  much 
use  to  the  present  work,  but  when  any  further  enterprise  of  this  kind  is 
undertaken  it  will  be  found  of  immense  value. 

It  is  pretty  certain  that  a  more  extended  work  —  covering  fully  the 
name  of  every  enlisted  man  —  will  yet  be  undertaken  by  the  State.  This 
book  is  not  in  any  sense  a  complete  or  final  thing.  So  far  as  it  goes,  it

INTRODUCTION. 


may  justly  claim  to  have  been  made,  when  possible,  from  the  original 
sources,  and  is  subject  to  the  defects  of  these  sources  in  respect  to  its 
undoubted  errors.  But  the  allotted  period  of  five  years  has  proved  very 
insufficient  to  do  even  this  work  as  it  should  be  done,  as  will  be  plain  when 
we  think  that  those  in  charge  of  the  naval  chapter  have  been  twenty  years 
at  work  upon  it,  and  can  even  now  present  only  the  commissioned  officers 
in  print.  The  best  regimental  histories  —  as  those  of  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry 
and  of  the  54th  Mass.  Infantry  —  have  taken  more  than  twenty  years  for 
their  preparation.  Not  only  was  the  limit  of  five  years,  as  allowed  by  the 
statute  providing  for  the  work,  far  too  limited,  but  the  original  allowance 
of  five  hundred  dollars  annually  for  clerk  hire  and  necessary  expenses  was 
absurdly  small ;  and  though  after  two  years'  effort  this  was  increased  to 
fifteen  hundred  dollars,  yet  even  this  was  wholly  inadequate  for  the  amount 
to  be  done.  When  we  consider  that  in  preparing  a  somewhat  similar  work 
for  the  State  of  Connecticut  —  a  much  smaller  State  —  fifteen  thousand 
dollars  had  to  be  spent  for  clerical  labor  in  Washington  alone,  it  is  plain 
that  this  Massachusetts  work  was  devised  on  a  scale  of  extreme  moderation. 
The  Illinois  war  book  occupies  eight  volumes  ;  the  Ohio  book  extends  to 
eleven,  and  took  twenty-eight  years  to  prepare.  But  for  the  generous 
offer  of  the  late  Francis  Minot  Weld,  M.D.,  to  contribute  five  hundred 
dollars  for  the  first  year's  expenses,  the  enterprise  would  probably  have 
been  abandoned  by  the  present  author  in  its  very  early  stages.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  he  was  originally  disposed  to  decline  —  partly  on  this 
ground  —  the  task  when  offered  him  by  the  late  Ex-Governor  Ames,  but  was 
persuaded  to  its  acceptance  by  the  urgent  solicitation  of  his  friends  the 
late  General  Devens  and  Ex-Go v.  John  D.  Long. 

In  regard  to  dates,  the  editor  has  found  no  authority  so  good,  on  the 
whole,  as  the  records  kept  by  the  Loyal  Legion  ;  and  yet  even  these  have 
this  element  of  uncertainty,  that  they  often  rest  simply  on  the  memory  of 
the  men  concerned  ;  and  human  memory  is  a  very  insecure  dependence  for 
the  details  of  what  happened  thirty  years  ago.  In  the  well-known  words 
of  the  poet  Gray,  in  one  of  his  letters,  "  Memory  is  ten  times  worse  than 
a  lead  pencil,"  meaning  that  the  slightest  memorandum  taken  at  the  time 
often  outweighs  the  most  ample  reminiscences  in  which  even  an  old  soldier 
can  indulge. 


INTRODUCTION.  xi 


The  most  insecure  ground  is  often  that  which  should  be  strongest,  — 
the  record  of  an  officer's  muster.  A  regular  officer's  rank  and  pay  date 
from  his  acceptance  of  his  commission,  and  of  this  there  is  always  docu 
mentary  proof  at  the  War  Department.  In  the  volunteer  service,  on  the 
other  hand,  officers  were  commissioned  by  the  governor  and  subsequently 
mustered  by  some  United  States  officer  designated  for  the  purpose ;  but 
whether  this  supposed  muster  should  bear  the  date  on  the  actual  day  when 
the  event  occurred,  or  whether  men  should  be  mustered  back  to  the  date  of 
their  commission,  or  to  the  date  when  they  joined  their  regiment,  this 
depended  largely  upon  the  discretion  of  the  mustering  officer  and  often 
upon  his  whims.  In  either  case  his  action  was  liable  to  be  revised  by  some 
later  authority ;  and  an  examination  of  the  Official  Army  Register  will 
show  that  in  many  cases  the  muster  was  set  aside  altogether,  sometimes  on 
very  frivolous  grounds,  so  that  an  officer  who  saw  active  service  for  years 
may  now  find  himself  standing  on  record  as  "  not  mustered,"  because  of 
some  technical  defect,  over  which  he  had  not  the  slightest  control,  on  the 
part  of  the  person  who  mustered  him.  There  now  exists  an  order  by  which 
any  dissatisfied  officer  may  demand  a  revision  of  his  record ;  but  this  order 
is  little  known,  and  the  men  subjected  to  the  injustice  have  often  died  or 
grown  indifferent ;  and  finally  the  application,  when  granted,  simply  throws 
new  labor  on  the  historian.  Many  of  these  corrections  are  transmitted  to 
the  Adjutant-General's  office  at  Boston,  but  others  are  not  transmitted,  and 
some  are  discovered  only  by  accident,  at  Washington. 

There  are  unquestionably  in  this  book,  therefore,  as  in  every  book  of 
this  description  up  to  this  date,  hundreds  of  errors  of  detail ;  and  the  only 
consolation  is  to  be  found  in  the  fact  that  this  does  not  result  from  any 
want  of  labor,  and  that  in  many  cases  no  added  time  or  effort  could  have 
accomplished  anything  more.  So  far  as  the  regular  army  goes,  — and  this 
includes,  practically,  the  general  officers,  by  brevet  or  otherwise, — far 
greater  accuracy  can  be  obtained  than  in  any  other  cases,  especially  since 
the  publication  of  the  admirable  semi-official  Historical  Register  of  Mr. 
B.  F.  Heitman  of  the  War  Department,  to  whose  private  correspondence  I 
am  also  greatly  indebted.  In  other  chapters,  as  the  lists  of  Massachusetts 
officers  in  the  United  States  Colored  Troops  and  in  regiments  of  other 
States,  the  information  has  had  to  be  sought  piecemeal  through  a  multitude 


INTRODUCTION. 


of  State  and  local  histories,  or  with  the  aid  of  the  various  commanderies  of 
the  Loyal  Legion,  —  an  aid  given  in  most  cases  with  admirable  and  gen 
erous  efficiency.  As  it  is,  it  is  not  likely  that  the  two  lists  just  named 
comprise  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  Massachusetts  officers  of  such  organi 
zations,  whereas  in  the  regular  army  and  in  the  Massachusetts  regiments 
the  actual  omissions  should  be  very  few. 

It  has  been  necessary  in  the  lists  of  officers  contained  in  this  work  to  cat 
alogue  each  officer  by  his  highest  rank  only,  in  order  to  avoid  the  labor 
and  expense  required  in  the  repetition  of  names  ;  and  it  has  been  found  the 
simpler  way  to  regard  the  brevet  rank  as  this  higher  rank,  since  the  officer 
was  habitually  known  by  his  brevet  title.  The  list  under  the  head  of 
"  Regular  Army  and  Staff  Corps  "  follows  strictly  the  method  adopted  in 
Heitman's  semi-official  "Historical  Register  of  the  United  States  Army," 
in  classifying  the  two  together,  as  receiving  their  commissions  from  the 
national,  not  State,  authority.  Heitman  also  includes,  for  the  same  reason, 
all  general  officers  by  brevet  or  otherwise ;  and  though  these  are  here  com 
prised  in  a  separate  list,  yet  the  name  of  each  is  given  on  the  "Regular 
Army  "list,  —  where  many,  following  Heitman,  would  look  for  them, — 
a  reference  to  the  other  list  being,  however,  given. 

It  will  be  found  that  these  lists  of  officers  do  not,  except  in  the  case  of 
general  officers,  purport  to  give  the  military  history  of  the  officer,  but  only 
the  bare  military  record ;  and  even  this  in  many  cases  comprises  only  his 
career  as  an  officer,  not  as  a  private,  if  previously  so  serving.  The  deficiency 
is  due  wholly  to  the  limited  means  at  my  command.  It  was  hoped  at  first  to 
include  the  whole  service  in  every  case,  and  this  was  done  wherever  the  pre 
vious  career  as  enlisted  man  was  easily  accessible ;  but  it  soon  proved  that 
this  career  had  often  occurred  in  a  different  regiment,  perhaps  in  another 
State,  and  was  often  complicated  and  obscured  by  dating  back  the  officer's 
commission.  The  attempt  was  therefore  abandoned,  except  where  the  facts 
were  ready  at  hand.  The  same  rule  was  adopted  in  giving  details  of  death, 
where  occurring  since  the  war.  They  were  printed  wherever  they  came  to 
hand  readily,  not  otherwise.  The  whole  aim  of  the  book  was  not  to  pre 
sent  a  work  of  ideal  completeness  —  for  this  would  have  required  twice  the 
time  and  more  than  twice  the  money  —  but  to  give  as  much  as  could  be 
given  within  the  scanty  limitations  prescribed  and  to  make  it  reasonably 
accurate.  Had  the  compiler  possessed  a  fortune  of  his  own  to  spend  upon 


INTRODUCTION.  xiii 


it,  or  had  others  recognized  its  value  by  donations  of  money,  like  the  late 
Dr.  Francis  M.  Weld,  it  would  have  been  a  very  different  book.  If  it  be 
said  that  the  Legislature,  if  properly  approached,  would  doubtless  have 
spent  more  liberally  upon  it,  it  is  enough  to  say  that  it  took  the  compiler 
two  years  of  urging  to  get  the  original  appropriation  of  five  hundred  dol 
lars  a  year  for  "necessary  expenses"  enlarged  to  fifteen  hundred  dollars, 

—  when  he  had  asked  for  twenty-five  hundred  dollars,  — and  that  he  could 
only  obtain  even  this  increase  by  pledging  himself  to  ask  for  nothing  more 
thereafter.     This  pittance  of  fifteen  hundred  dollars  was  all  that  he  had 
to  expend  —  apart  from  his  own  modest  salary  —  for  clerk  hire,  books, 
stationery,  postage,  room  rent,  fuel  and  travelling  expenses.     As  a  matter 
of  fact,  his  actual  expenses  have  considerably  exceeded,  every  year,  what 
he  received  under  that  head  from  the  State. 

It  is  a  matter  greatly  regretted  by  the  present  compiler  that  it  is  not 
in  his  power  to  complete  this  work,  as  it  should  be  completed,  by  an 
alphabetical  list  of  enlisted  men  and  sailors,  with  their  records,  to  corre 
spond  to  those  here  given  of  officers.  He  hoped  at  first  to  do  this,  but 
soon  finding  that  it  would  require  means  fully  three  times  as  great  as  those 
at  his  command,  he  was  obliged  to  abandon  it  and  to  rest  in  the  knowledge 
that  if  he  began  with  the  officers,  the  enlisted  men  would  inevitably  follow. 
There  was  the  added  difficulty  that  the  full  records  at  Washington  were 
not,  until  this  year,  accessible,  and  that  the  State  archives  are  not  yet,  in 
the  opinion  of  the  Adjutant-General,  in  condition  for  such  a  work ;  while 
as  to  the  sailors,  it  is  as  yet  wholly  out  of  the  question.  The  State  his 
torian  has,  however,  urged  the  matter  upon  two  successive  governors, — 
being,  as  he  thinks,  the  first  person  to  propose  it, — and  the  proposition 
has  been  made,  in  this  year's  gubernatorial  message,  to  make  to  this  present 
work  this  necessary  addition.  It  will  be  a  vast  and  costly  undertaking, 

—  the  compiling  of  this  farther  work,  the  preparation  of  more  than  one 
hundred  thousand  records.     It  will  probably  occupy  three  volumes,  each 
larger  than  these  ;  leaving  the  sailors  still  outside  the  enumeration.     Yet  it 
should,  in  the  present  compiler's  opinion,  be  carried  through,  although, 
he  trusts,  in  other  hands  than  his.     It  will  be  greatly  facilitated  by  an 
alphabetical  card  list  which  Adjutant-General  Dalton  has,  with  admirable 
foresight,  caused  to  be  prepared,  and  which  gives  the  name  and  regiment 
of  each  enlisted  man,  but  without  the  dates  of  service. 


INTRODUCTION. 


For  those  who  read  the  narrative  portion  of  this  book  the  fact  must 
be  constantly  recognized  that  the  publication  of  that  monumental  work, 
the  "Official  War  Records,"1  has  practically  superseded  most  other  sources 
of  authority.  All  war  history  must  gradually  be  rewritten  in  its  light. 
This  is  not  because  the  statements  in  its  reports,  letters  and  dispatches  are 
always  correct.  They  are,  on  the  other  hand,  very  often  erroneous  and 
contradictory.  Their  invaluable  merit  is  that  they  represent,  with  absolute 
correctness,  what  the  leading  participants  at  each  moment  knew,  or  thought 
they  knew,  or  wished  to  have  it  supposed  that  they  knew ;  we  learn  for 
the  first  time  precisely  what  orders  they  received,  and  how  they  interpreted 
them.  The  result  is  in  many  instances  not  merely  a  wholly  new  aspect  of 
things,  the  making  or  marring  of  reputations,  the  piercing  of  bubbles. 
There  also  results  an  entire  superseding  of  whole  shelves  of  early  volumes, 
historical  or  biographical,  which  are  henceforth  valuable  only  for  a  few 
anecdotes  or  personal  reminiscences. 

The  narrative  rests  solely  on  the  responsibility  of  the  State  historian, 
and  he  has  tried  to  be  true  to  that  duty.  He  was  placed  in  his  position  not 
to  flatter  or  apologize,  not  to  produce  a  perfectly  colorless  tale,  avoiding  all 
vexed  questions,  but  simply  to  tell  the  truth  as  he  could  best  ascertain  it, 
and  thus  anticipate,  so  far  as  he  could,  the  dispassionate  judgment  of  pos 
terity.  To  do  this  must  necessarily  be  to  incur  some  criticism,  though 
not  so  severe,  it  is  hoped,  as  that  suggested  by  the  Duke  of  Wellington, 
meditating  on  his  own  memoirs.  "I  should  like  to  speak  the  truth,"  he 
remarked,  "but  if  I  do  I  shall  be  torn  in  pieces."  It  is  hoped  that  no 
result  like  this  will  follow ;  but  it  is  well  to  remember  how  absolutely 
impossible  it  is  for  any  human  being  to  assign  to  every  corps  and  regiment 
and  company  precisely  the  shade  of  prominence  which  belongs  to  it  in  the 
eyes  of  every  survivor.  Quite  as  hard  is  it  to  accord  with  the  views  of 
each  one  as  to  the  comparative  rank  of  diiferent  commanders.  When  we 
think  of  the  directly  antagonistic  opinions  which  still  prevail  in  regard  to 
such  conspicuous  names  as  those  of  McClellan,  Hooker,  and  even  Grant 
himself,  it  is  plainly  out  of  the  question  to  satisfy  all.  In  the  admirable 
"War  Book"  of  the  Century  Company  it  is  found  impossible  to  treat 
properly  so  simple  an  affair  as  the  battle  of  Shiloh  without  having  four

separate  statements, — two  from  each  side  of  the  contest,  —  each  of  these 
four  differing  in  its  whole  attitude  from  each  of  the  others.  Indeed,  it  was 
once  seriously  proposed  before  the  military  committee  of  the  Massachusetts 
Legislature  to  have  four  military  historians  instead  of  one.  This  project 
not  prevailing,  the  whole  responsibility  was  thrown  upon  the  present  offi 
cial,  and  he  can  only  say  that  he  has  done  the  best  he  could.  Among 
many  defects,  or  even  errors  of  detail,  he  believes  that  there  will  be  recog 
nized,  sooner  or  later,  in  his  narrative  a  sincere  and  simple  desire  to  tell 
the  truth.

PRELIMINARY  NARRATIVE. 


I.       THE    OUTBREAK    OF    THE    WAR. 

The  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  found  Massachusetts,  and  the  Eastern 
States  generally,  not  only  in  an  unarmed  but  in  a  very  unwarlike  condition. 
The  old  outdoor  habits  of  a  rural  community  —  riding,  hunting  and  outdoor 
adventure  —  had  almost  passed  away,  while  the  modern  substitutes  in  the 
way  of  physical  exercise  were  only  just  being  introduced.  The  intercol 
legiate  athletic  contests  had  ju&t  begun,  there  had  been  two  or  three  rowing 
matches,  no  football  games ;  it  was  rarely  that  villages  met  to  compete  at 
base  ball.  The  militia  had  been  until  within  a  few  years  at  a  low  ebb ;  it 
had  indeed  been  lately  organized  into  regiments,  but  these  larger  organiza 
tions  were  still  almost  nominal.  As  a  rule,  the  higher  an  officer,  the  less 
his  military  knowledge,  — the  major  usually  knew  less  than  the  captain,  the 
colonel  less  than  the  major,  the  brigadier-general  still  less,  and  the  major- 
general  sometimes  less  than  any  of  them.  The  higher  officers  were  often 
appointed  on  merely  political  grounds,  or  because  they  would  entertain  the 
others  at  their  houses.  Stories  were  rife  as  to  the  blunders  of  these  officers, 
of  their  marching  the  regiment  up  a  high  wall  before  they  could  remember 
how  to  stop  them,  or  of  their  bewildering  their  command  by  the  order  (sug 
gested  by  a  mischievous  adjutant)  "  Two  or  three  paces  backward,  march  !  " 
Even  such  as  it  was,  the  militia  furnished  the  nucleus  of  the  Massachusetts 
contingent,  largely  filled  the  roster  of  its  early  officers,  and,  by  the  prompt 
ness  of  its  three  months'  service,  did  much  for  the  actual  saving  of  the  nation. 
Some  of  the  regiments  were  ordered  out  three  successive  times  and  responded 
promptly  every  time.  But  it  must  not  be  for  a  moment  supposed  that  the 
State  militia  of  1861  resembled  at  all  in  order  and  efficiency  the  highly 
organized  militia  of  to-day ;  and  the  more  nattering  the  titles  of  its  officers 
the  less  prepared  they  usually  were  to  assume  any  responsibility  requiring 
military  knowledge.  Without  the  line  officers  of  the  Massachusetts  militia

the  State  could  not  have  met  as  it  did  the  summons  to  the  three  months'  ser 
vice  ;  but  its  general  officers  were  often  an  embarrassment. 

It  must  also  be  remembered  that  the  Northern  mind,  generally  shrinking 
from  all  belief  in  a  coming  war,  had  delayed  serious  action  long  after  active 
preparations  had  begun  at  the  South.  Young  men  coming  from  that  region 
were  amazed,  during  the  winter  of  1860-61,  to  find  their  Northern  acquaint 
ances  employing  or  amusing  themselves  as«usual,  while  at  the  South  every 
body  was  drilling.  All  the  events  in  Kansas  had  not  really  opened  men's 
eyes.  Both  sides,  moreover,  strangely  underrated  their  opponents.  At  the 
South,  reiving  on  their  own  more  active  outdoor  habits,  men  believed  that 
one  Southerner  was  a  match  for  three  Yankees ;  while  at  the  North  the 
reasoning,  though  proceeding  from  a  different  point,  reached  the  same  con 
clusion.  "  Modern  war,"  we  reasoned,  "  is  a  matter  not  of  individual  hand- 
to-hand  contest,  but  of  machinery,  of  organization,  of  inventive  skill,  of 
capital,  of  material  resources."  In  all  these  things  we  felt  that  we  had  the 
advantage.  We  did  not  allow  for  the  effect  of  necessity  in  creating  these 
very  resources,  nor  for  the  fact  that  adversity  was  to  call  out  in  the  South 
more  important  inventions  and  more  triumphs  of  organizing  skill  than  its 
years  of  prosperity  had  ever  claimed.  The  institution  of  slavery  itself,  by 
giving  immense  supplies  of  crude  labor  for  fortifications,  by  supporting 
families  and  by  educating  the  habit  of  command,  was  doubtless  a  power  in 
the  hands  of  the  South,  until  we  turned  it  against  them  by  arming  the 
blacks.  And,  again,  Northern  men  overlooked  the  enormous  difference 
between  offensive  and  defensive  war,  especially  in  a  contest  spreading  over 
so  vast  an  extent  of  rough  and  sparsely  settled  country. 

There  was  thus  a  general  impulse,  born  partly  of  desire,  to  make  light  of 
the  extent  and  difficulty  of  the  contest.1  It  is  remembered  that  a  very  able 
man  in  Boston,  Dr.  Samuel  Cabot,  who  had  aided  largely  in  sending  rifles  to 
Kansas,  said  once,  in  speaking  of  a  possible  war  between  the  Northern  and 


1  See  Comte  de  Paris,  Civil  War  in  America  (Translation,  1, 160)  :  "  Would  it  be  a  military  promenade, 
or  a  war  of  conquest  ?  No  one  was  able  to  predict ;  but  in  the  North  as  well  as  in  the  South  the  impression 
was  universal  that  the  war  would  not  be  of  long  duration,  and  that  the  first  encounters  would  settle  the 
question ;  nobody  believed  that  the  volunteers  summoned  by  Mr.  Lincoln  to  serve  for  three  years,  or 
during  the  war,  would  see  their  terms  of  enlistment  expire  amid  the  din  of  battle ;  neither  party  had  as 
yet  formed  an  idea  of  the  sacrifices  its  opponent  was  capable  of  making."  For  the  over-confidence  of  the 
Confederates,  see  De  Leon,  Four  Years  in  Rebel  Capitals,  p.  135.  "  Not  one  in  three  looked  facts  in  the 
face."  (De  Leon,  p.  32.)  The  war  was  "  only  a  campaign,  and  not  to  last  six  months  "  (De  Leon,  27, 
175.)  See  the  similar  opinions  expressed  by  Coombs  and  Benjamin,  in  1861 ,  in  Century  Magazine  (October, 
1889,  p.  950) .  But  Gen.  J.  E.  B.  Stuart  held  a  different  opinion.  (Eggleston's  A  Rebel's  Recollections.) 


THE  WAR  GOVERNOR. 


Southern  States,  "  It  would  not  last  six  months ; "  while,  on  the  other  hand, 
one  of  the  best  of  the  Massachusetts  militia  officers,  who  went  out  as  adjutant 
of  General  Devens's  battalion  at  the  very  beginning,  and  afterwards  entered 
the  regular  army,  said,  after  the  attack  on  Sumter,  "I  would  rather  have 
England  and  France  together  upon  us  than  this."  Captain  Goodhue  was 
right ;  war  with  England  and  France  might  have  led  to  the  capture  or  burn 
ing  of  a  few  cities,  but  the  pressure  of  the  civilized  world  would  have  soon 
settled  it  by  diplomacy,  at  a  cost  of  money  and  life  incomparably  less  than 
that  of  the  contest  which  was  now  impending.  As  it  was,  the  material  cost 
of  the  war  was  best  summed  up  by  Gen.  W.  T.  Sherman,  who  said,  at  Port 
land,  Oregon  (July  3,  1890),  "I  do  believe,  as  I  believe  in  Him  who  rules 
above  us  all,  that  this  country  spent  one  thousand  million  dollars  and  one 
hundred  thousand  lives  to  teach  you  the  art  of  war." 1 

II.      THE    WAR    GOVERNOR. 

On  Jan.  5,  1861,  John  Albion  Andrew  was  inaugurated  as  governor  of 
Massachusetts,  having  been  chosen  to  that  office  during  the  previous  autumn, 
rather  through  a  popular  impulse  than  by  any  plans  of  political  managers ; 
and  having  received  the  largest  popular  vote  given  up  to  that  time  to  any 
Massachusetts  governor.  He  stood  before  the  people  a  figure  of  unique 
appearance  and  bearing,  —  short,  stout,  blue-eyed,  with  closely  curling  brown 
hair,  smooth  cheeks,  and  a  general  effect  that  was  feminine,  though  very 
sturdily  so.  He  entered  on  his  duties  with  universal  popular  confidence  as 
to  his  intentions,  but  absolutely  untried  as  to  large  executive  duties.  His 
personal  habits  were  pacific  and  even  sedentary ;  he  had  no  taste  for  any 
pageantry,  least  of  all  for  that  of  war ;  yet  in  his  very  inaugural  address  he 
showed  that  he  had  grasped  the  situation  of  the  country,  and  from  that  day 
he  was,  emphatically  and  thoroughly,  the  war  governor. 

Governor  Andrew  was  frank,  outspoken,  with  no  concealments  and  little 
solicitude  for  any  reserve  in  others.  It  was  said  at  the  State  House  that  his 
predecessors  had  been  much  given  to  private  and  confidential  interviews ; 
but  that  he  went  to  the  other  extreme.  Everything  was  aboveboard ;  he 
talked  as  freely  among  his  clerks  and  visitors  as  in  the  most  secluded  privacy.

ing  of  regiments,  the  selection  of  officers,  the  distribution  of  supplies,  it 
was  almost  impossible  to  have  a  word  of  confidential  intercourse  with  him. 
It  was  also  difficult  to  hold  him  to  a  point ;  he  liked  to  talk  over  his  own 
plans  and  to  read  aloud  the  letters  he  had  just  written  ;  and,  as  his  style  was 
rather  florid  and  he  amplified  a  good  deal,  these  digressions  took  much 
precious  time.  Moreover,  he  was  thin-skinned,  and  felt  keenly  any  personal 
attack ;  and  when  he  met  with  a  thoroughly  unscrupulous  and  tormenting 
opponent  it  was  not  hard  to  keep  him  vexed  and  irritated,  in  spite  of  the 
unselfish  nobleness  of  his  aims. 

The  selection  of  officers  was  of  course  the  most  perplexing  part  of  his 
military  work,  and  was  that  in  which  he  made  most  mistakes,  these  arising 
almost  wholly  from  his  virtues.  He  said  truly  of  himself  that  he  had  never 
despised  any  man  because  he  was  poor,  because  he  was  ignorant  or  because 
he  was  black ;  but  there  was  always  a  chance  that  he  might  overrate  a  man 
for  one  or  the  other  of  these  reasons.  He  began,  as  all  war  governors  did, 
with  a  natural  prejudice  in  favor  of  regular  army  men  and  those  who  had 
served  in  foreign  armies ;  and  where  men  had  these  recommendations,  the 
fact  that  they  had  been  the  object  of  attack  or  criticism  on  other  grounds 
told  rather  in  their  favor;  unless  they  had  taken  positively  pro-slavery 
positions  or  led  mobs  against  abolitionists  or  negroes, — he  drew  the  line 
there. 

No  one  can  now  appreciate  how  difficult  it  was,  after  a  prolonged  period 
of  peace,  to  look  around  upon  the  community  and  say  of  this  man  or  that 
"He  would  make  a  good  military  officer."  Men  did  not  know  this  in  regard 
to  themselves.  No  man  could  feel  humbler  about  this  process  of  selection 
than  Governor  Andrew.  He  said  once,  "  It  seems  very  absurd  that  I,  who 
am  a  man  of  peace  and  always  hated  soldiering,  should  be  the  man  to  choose 
these  officers ;  but  Providence  has  put  this  duty  upon  me,  and  I  shall  do  it 
as  best  I  can."  He  was  liable,  as  are  most  of  us,  to  be  misled  by  an  imposing 
appearance,  a  commanding  manner,  and  to  underrate  the  obscurer  virtues. 
He  was  over-influenced  at  times  by  trivial  or  temporary  considerations,  as 
when  he  once  gave  it  as  his  reason  for  proposing  to  give  one  civilian  a 
colonelcy,  that  this  person  had  wished  for  one  before,  and  had  behaved  very 
well  under  disappointment.  It  is  now  known,  on  the  other  hand,  that  the 
present  head  of  the  American  army,  Major-General  Miles,  was  set  aside 
by  Governor  Andrew  at  the  last  moment  as  too  young  for  the  command  of 


THE  WAR  GOVERNOR. 


a  company  which  he  had  raised  at  his  own  expense  ;  although  the  governor 
of  New  York  had  afterwards  the  discernment,  after  one  or  two  battles,  to 
take  this  young  officer  from  his  lieutenancy  and  make  him  colonel  of  a 
regiment.1  He  had  also  the  tendency,  common  to  strong-willed  men,  to 
stick  to  an  appointment,  even  when  an  obvious  mistake.  He  once  said  of 
an  officer  of  foreign  birth,  "  He  is  the  best  field  officer  who  ever  went  from 
Massachusetts."  There  being  rumors  of  insubordination  and  inefficiency  in 
regard  to  this  officer,  Governor  Andrew  was  asked,  a  month  or  so  later,  if 
he  still  held  to  the  same  opinion.  "  I  will  go  further  now,"  he  said,  striking 
the  table  with  his  hand;  "I  will  say  that  he  is  worth  all  the  other  field 
officers  who  have  left  Massachusetts,  put  together."  Yet  the  career  of  this 
particular  person  was  by  no  means  a  success,  and  he  left  the  service  early.2 
On  the  other  hand,  his  dislikes  were  as  warm  and  impetuous  as  his  likings, 
and  he  could  not  always  be  trusted  to  exercise  patience  or  justice  in  dealing 
with  any  one  who  had  forfeited  his  good  opinion.3 

On  the  evening  of  the  very  day  on  which  Governor  Andrew's  inaugural 
address  was  delivered  (Jan.  5,  1861)  he  sent  confidential  messengers  to  the 
governors  of  the  New  England  States,  urging  military  preparation  on  the 
part  of  all.  Col.  Albert  G.  Browne,  afterwards  the  governor's  military 
secretary,  was  sent  to  the  governors  of  Maine  and  New  Hampshire  ;  Colonel 
Wardrop,  commander  of  the  3d  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  was  sent  to 
Vermont,  and  others  to  Rhode  Island  and  Connecticut.  The  military 
historians  of  Maine  and  New  Hampshire  make  no  reference  to  this  communi 
cation  ;  and  it  is  evident  that  in  Vermont  it  led  only  to  some  correspondence 
but  to  "  little  open  or  actual  preparation  for  fighting."4 

The  first  direct  and  overt  step  taken  by  Governor  Andrew  was  the 
apparently  mild  one  of  causing  a  salute  to  be  fired  on  Jan.  8,  1861, 5  in  com 
memoration  of  the  battle  of  New  Orleans,  this  being  at  the  suggestion  of  the 
Hon.  Charles  Francis  Adams.  The  next  step  took  place  on  January  16,6 
when  an  order  was  issued  requiring  each  company  commander  in  a  militia 
regiment  to  revise  his  muster  roll,  to  ascertain  whether  any  of  the  members

would  be,  "from  age,  physical  defect,  business  or  family  cares,  unable  or 
indisposed  to  respond  at  once  to  the  orders  of  the  commander-in-chief,"  in 
order  that  they  might  be  '  *  forthwith  discharged,  so  that  their  places  may  be 
filled  by  men  ready  for  any  public  emergency  which  may  arise,  whenever 
called  upon.  This  once  done,  no  discharge  could  be  granted  unless  for 
cause  satisfactory  to  the  commander-in-chief."  From  the  moment  when  this 
order  was  issued  Massachusetts  had  begun  to  be  placed  on  a  war  footing. 

The  time  for  actual  fighting,  however,  soon  came.  It  is  said  that  on 
April  12,  1861,  the  Senate  of  Ohio  was  in  session  and  was  vainly  trying, 
amid  suppressed  excitement,  to  settle  down  to  its  ordinary  routine.  Sud 
denly  a  senator  came  hastily  in  from  the  lobby,  and,  catching  the  chairman's 
eye,  exclaimed,  "  Mr.  President,  the  telegraph  announces  that  the  seces 
sionists  are  bombarding  Fort  Sumter."  There  was  a  moment's  hush,  which 
was  broken  by  a  woman's  shrill  voice  from  the  spectators'  seats,  crying 
*  *  Glory  to  God."  * '  It  startled  every  one,"  says  a  spectator,  ' '  almost  as  if  the 
enemy  were  in  the  midst."1  The  scene  was  Ohio,  but  the  voice  was  a  voice 
from  Massachusetts,  for  the  speaker  was  Abby  Kelly  Foster  of  Worcester, 
one  of  the  most  daring  and  self-devoted  of  the  early  abolitionists,  a  woman 
whose  tones  had  always  a  peculiar  and  thrilling  quality,  as  of  one  crying  in 
the  wilderness.  She  now  uttered  the  impulse  of  many  who  saw  at  a  glance 
that  the  death  struggle  between  freedom  and  slavery  had  come.  The  next 
day  the  Union  flag  fluttered  over  myriads  of  roofs  in  the  great  Northern 
cities,  and  political  differences  appeared  annihilated.  In  Massachusetts, 
whatever  had  looked  like  pro-slavery  sympathy  in  the  great  Democratic 
party  seemed  for  the  moment  to  vanish,  as  by  magic,  and  appeared  after 
wards,  if  at  all,  in  the  form  of  too  suspicious  a  criticism. 


III.      THE    FIRST  VOLUNTEER    COMPANY. 

The  first  company  newly  organized  for  the  Civil  War  in  Massachusetts 
and  probably  in  the  Northern  States  was  that  formed  in  Cambridge,  Mass., 
by  Capt.  (afterwards  colonel)  James  P.  Richardson,  the  call  for  which  com 
pany  appeared  in  the  Cambridge  Chronicle,  Jan.  5,  1861  (the  very  day  of  the 
new  governor's  inauguration),  and  in  posters  of  the  same  date.  The  call

was  as  follows,  and  is  given  here  as  the  first,1  and  as  forming  the  precursor 
for  many  others  in  other  places ;  and  for  the  same  reason  the  subsequent 
proceedings  are  given  more  fully  than  in  the  case  of  any  later  company. 

* '  The  undersigned  proposes  to  organize  a  company  of  volunteers  to 
tender  their  services  to  our  common  country,  and  to  do  what  they  can  to 
maintain  the  integrity  of  the  Union  and  the  glory  of  our  flag.  Any  citizen 
of  good  moral  character  and  sound  in  body,  who  wishes  to  join  the  corps, 
will  please  call  at  my  office,  Main  Street,  Cambridgeport."  Signed,  "  J.  P. 
Richardson."2 

The  signer  of  this  call  was  a  lawyer  in  Cambridge  and  captain  of  the 
"  Wide  Awakes,"  a  political  organization.  It  is  one  of  the  many  ties  con 
necting  this  new  contest  with  the  Revolutionary  traditions  that  his  great 
grandfather,  Moses  Richardson,  was  killed  in  one  of  the  opening  battles 
of  the  American  Revolution. 

"  At  the  same  time,"  writes  he,  "  I  hung  a  flag  from  my  office  window 
and  opened  a  book  for  the  signatures  of  recruits.  In  a  few  days  I  had  a  roll 
of  over  sixty  names,  most  of  them  young  men  belonging  to  the  Cambridge 
fire  department."  He  then  hired  a  hall  and  devoted  his  evenings  to  the 
drilling  of  recruits.  But  it  illustrates  the  curious  conditions  of  mind  at  that 
time  that  the  project  met  with  derision  instead  of  encouragement.  "  In  the

called  a  meeting  at  the  Mercer  House,  for  a  similar  purpose,  Jan.  11,  1861.     (Townsend's  Honors  of  the 
Empire  State  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  p.  89.)

mean  time,"  he  writes,  "  I  had  to  endure  a  fire  of  raillery  and  sarcasm  from 
nearly  every  one  I  met  as  I  walked  the  streets  between  my  house  and  my 
office.  Squibs  were  published  in  the  local  paper,  making  fun  of  my  warlike 
preparations,  and  every  would-be  wit  seemed  to  think  it  the  best  joke  of  the 
season.  I  went  to  Gov.  John  A.  Andrew,  however,  and  told  him  what  I 
was  doing,  and  tendered  him  our  services  as  soon  as  they  should  be  needed. 
The  governor  approved  my  action,  and  promised  to  call  upon  me  when  the 
time  came  for  action." 

When  the  President's  call  for  seventy-five  thousand  men  was  issued,  and 
six  militia  regiments  were  ordered  out  from  Massachusetts,  it  was  the  hope 
of  Captain  Richardson  and  his  company  that  they  would  be  added  to  one 
of  these  regiments.  The  following  is  the  description  given  by  Captain 
Richardson  :  "  It  was  on  the  16th  of  April,  1861.  I  had  been  in  court  all 
day.  It  was  a  cold,  drizzling  day,  and  at  night  it  rained  hard.  As  I  sat  in 
my  office,  nearly  all  the  members  of  my  company  came  in,  full  of  excitement, 
to  inquire  if  I  had  received  orders  to  march,  and  were  bitterly  disappointed 
when  I  told  them  I  had  not.  They  hung  around,  grumbling,  until  near  ten 
o'clock,  gradually  dropping  off  till  there  were  only  some  half  dozen  left.  I 
was  telling  them  that  the  governor  had  promised  that  we  should  have  the 
first  chance,  when  a  tall  man,  in  a  rubber  overcoat  and  a  sou'wester  hat, 
dripping  with  rain,  came  in  and  inquired  for  Captain  Richardson.  Every 
face  turned  to  me,  every  hand  pointed,  and  every  voice  shouted,  '  There  he 
is.'  He  took  a  large,  official-looking  paper  from  his  pocket,  and  handed  it 
to  me.  I  opened  and  read  it.  It  was  an  order  from  the  governor  to  appear 
forthwith  at  the  State  House  in  Boston,  with  my  company  for  service. 
Holding  it  above  my  head,  I  shouted,  *  Here  it  is,  boys!  Go  down  to 
Pike's  stable  and  get  a  horse  apiece,  and  notify  every  member  of  the  com 
pany  to  be  here  at  my  office  by  daylight  to-morrow  morning.'" 

The  company  marched  from  its  temporary  quarters  to  Boston  early  in 
the  morning  of  April  17, l  and  was  there  organized  as  a  company  of  State 
militia  belonging  to  the  5th  Regiment,  Col.  S.'C.  Lawrence  (a  Middlesex 
County  regiment),  but  temporarily  to  be  assigned  to  the  3d  Regiment  (Col. 


i  Captain  Richardson  writes  :  "  As  we  passed  along,  we  received  many  tokens  of  regard  from  citizens. 
Dr.  Estes  Howe  placed  a  one-hundred-dollar  bill  in  my  hand,  to  be  used  for  the  benefit  of  the  company. 
One  man  gave  me  a  dilapidated  white  kid  glove,  saying,  '  The  fingers  will  make  the  very  best  kind  of  cots, 
if  you  should  get  a  wound  in  the  finger.'  "  (MS.  letter.) 


THE  FIRST  VOLUNTEER  COMPANY.  11 

D.  W.  Wardrop),  which  was  mainly  from  Plymouth  County.1  It  had 
ninety-seven  members,  no  other  company  in  the  regiment  having  more  than 
seventy-eight,  and  one  having  but  twenty- four  members.  Officers  were 
selected  in  the  manner  usual  for  militia  companies,  Colonel  Lawrence  presid 
ing  at  the  election.  James  P.  Richardson  was  chosen  captain,  Samuel  E. 
Chamberlain  first  lieutenant,  Edwin  F.  Richardson  second,  John  Kinnear 
third  and  Francis  M.  Doble  fourth  lieutenant.  This  was  according  to  the 
old  "  Scott"  system,  but  it  is  a  satisfaction  to  know  that  when,  under  the 
new  (Hardee)  system,  the  number  of  lieutenants  was  cut  down  to  two,  both 
Messrs.  Kinnear  and  Doble  continued  with  the  company  as  sergeants,  and 
served  during  the  three  months.  It  was  especially  manly  in  Mr.  Kinnear, 
whose  name  had  stood  first  on  the  enlistment  paper.  First  Lieutenant 
(afterwards  general)  Chamberlain  was  the  only  member  of  the  company  who 
had  seen  military  service, — in  the  Mexican  war, — and  he  was  naturally 
placed  next  to  the  highest  in  command.  He  had  been  a  member  both  of  the 
police  force  and  the  fire  department  of  Cambridge,2  and  had  much  influence 
and  authority  among  his  fellow-recruits.  Of  the  whole  number  of  members 
in  this  pioneer  company  (ninety-seven)  all  but  two  re-enlisted  at  the  end  of 
the  three  months'  service,  twenty-seven  received  commissions  in  other  regi 
ments  and  twenty-one  died  in  the  service.3 

These  facts  have  been  given  thus  at  length,  because  this  process  of  com 
pany  formation  represented  that  which  was  soon  going  on  all  over  the  State, 
in  some  cases  for  three  months'  service,  in  others  for  three  years.  Even  the 
regularly  summoned  militia  companies  had  often  more  new  recruits  than  old 
members ;  but  this  company  of  Captain  Richardson's  appears  to  have  been 
the  only  essentially  new  company  among  the  Massachusetts  three  months' 
troops.  The  circumstances  under  which  these  were  collectively  called  out 
will  be  presently  stated: 

In  the  resolutions  of  the  Massachusetts  Legislature  on  the  death  of  Gen. 
William  Cogswell,  it  was  assumed  for  him  that  he  recruited  the  first  com 
pany  in  this  State  for  the  Civil  War.4  The  facts  in  regard  to  the  Cambridge

4  "  As  a  soldier  he  manifested  a  loyal  and  patriotic  devotion  to  his  country  by  raising  the  first  volunteer 
company  for  the  late  war."    Appleton's  Cyclopaedia  of  American  Biography  makes  a  similar  statement: 
"  In  1861  he  raised  the  first  company  of  volunteers  for  the  national  cause  in  Massachusetts."

company  seem  to  disprove  this  statement ;  but,  since  that  company  did  not 
serve  three  years,  it  may  perhaps  be  true  that  General  (then  captain)  Cogs 
well's  company  was  the  first  enlisted  and  serving  for  that  whole  period. 
It  appears  that  this  officer  was  one  of  twenty  privates  of  the  Salem  Cadets 
who  volunteered  to  escort  Captain  Devereux's  company  ("A"  of  7th 
M.  Y.  M.)  to  Boston  on  April  18,  1861,  this  company  having  been  known 
both  as  the  Salem  Light  Infantry  and  the  Salem  Zouaves  ;  and  on  his  return 
ing  to  Salem  that  night  he  determined  to  raise  a  company  for  himself,  and 
began  recruiting  on  April  20. l  The  company  was  named  the  Andrew  Light 
Guard;  it  went  into  camp  at  Camp  Webb  on  Winter  Island,  Salem  harbor, 
April  22  ;2  on  May  8  Governor  Andrew  requested  Colonel  (afterwards 
general)  Gordon  to  receive  it  into  the  2d  Regiment,  then  forming;3  and  it 
reported  May  14  with  seventy-five  men,  Captain  Abbott  having,  however, 
previously  reported  with  a  full  company.4  Supposing  Captain  Cogswell's 
to  be  the  first  company  formed  for  the  2d  Regiment,  it  could  only  have 
priority  over  Captain  Richardson's  by  claiming  that  it  was  a  "volunteer" 
company,  and  that  of  Richardson  only  a  "volunteer  militia"  company.  But 
the  language  of  the  original  call  shows  clearly  that  this  company  was 
gathered  expressly  for  the  war  for  the  Union  and  not  for  militia  service 
within  the  State ;  and  if  it  called  itself  in  the  enlistment  roll  a  militia  com 
pany,  it  was  because  there  was  as  yet  no  other  way  of  getting  into  the  ser 
vice.  It  was  certainly  an  added  merit,  if  it  enlisted  actually  in  advance  of 
any  public  national  call. 

IV.       THE    THREE    MONTHS'    REGIMENTS. 

The  first  call  made  on  Massachusetts  for  troops  was  by  a  telegraphic  de 
spatch  from  Senator  Wilson,  dated  at  Washington,  April  15,  requesting 
twenty  companies  to  be  sent  to  Washington  and  there  mustered  into  service. 
During  that  day  similar  despatches  were  received  by  telegraph  from  the 
Secretary  of  War  and  the  Adjutant-General,  with  formal  requisitions  for  two 
militia  regiments.  Four  regiments  were  accordingly  called  out,  that,  if 
necessary,  strong  companies  might  be  detached  from  the  weaker  regiments, 
and  so  the  maximum  might  be  obtained.5  Orders  were  accordingly  issued  to

THE  THREE  MONTHS'  REGIMENTS.  13 

Colonel  Jones  of  the  6th  Regiment  (at  Lowell) ,  Colonel  Packard  of  the  4th 
(at  Quincy),  Colonel  Wardrop  of  the  3d  (at  New  Bedford)  and  Colonel 
Munroe  of  the  8th  (at  Lynn),  requiring  them  to  muster  their  commands  on 
Boston  Common  forthwith. 

The  question  w^hich  militia  company  arrived  first  in  Boston  is  not  wholly 
easy  to  settle.  In  the  annual  report  of  Adjutant-General  Schouler  (January, 
1862)  it  was  expressly  stated  that  the  first  to  arrive  were  three  from  Marble- 
head  (Cos.  B,  C,  H,  8th  Regiment),  and  that  "they  arrived  at  the  Eastern 
depot  at  9  A.M."1  Six  years  later,  in  his  History  of  Massachusetts  in  the 
Civil  War,  he  modified  the  statement,  saying  that  he  was  at  the  Eastern 
railway  station  when  these  companies  arrived,  and  that  the  hour  was  "  shortly 
after  eight."2  It  is  obvious  that  a  considerable  range  of  time  is  thus  opened 
by  this  discrepancy  as  to  hours ;  and  it  is  also  noticeable  that  his  testimony 
in  1862  was  given  a  good  deal  nearer  to  the  actual  occurrences  than  that 
made  in  1868.  On  the  other  hand,  there  is  ample  evidence  that  Co.  E, 
4th  Regiment  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  took  the  train  at  South  Abington 
at  7.13  A.M.,  April  16,  1861,  due  to  arrive  in  Boston  at  8.13  A.M.,  and, 
as  there  was  no  delay  or  accident,  it  is  fair  to  suppose  that  the  train 
arrived  on  time.3  If,  therefore,  the  first  statement  of  Adjutant-General 
Schouler  was  correct,  Captain  Allen's  Abington  company  had  distinct  pre- 
ceflence  over  the  three  Marblehead  companies ;  wrhereas,  if  the  Adjutant- 
General's  modified  statement  of  1868  is  to  be  accepted,  the  matter  is  left 
more  indefinite.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  controversy  is  not  of  great  im 
portance,  because  many  companies  took  the  first  trains  on  their  respective 
railways,  and  were  after  that  at  the  mercy  of  the  time  tables,  over  which 
they  had  no  control. 

The  essential  point  is  that  all  the  regiments  responded  « '  forthwith  "  as 
required,  on  April  16,  though  in  consequence  of  a  severe  storm  the  place  of 
assemblage  was  changed  to  Faneuil  Hall.  In  spite  of  the  storm,  crowds  of 
men  and  women  were  gathered  to  receive  the  various  troops,  and  followed 
them  with  zeal  through  the  city.  Some  detached  companies  were  also 
ordered  out  and  were  assigned  to  different  regiments.  A  messenger  sent  to 
Captain  Dike  of  Stoneham,  whose  company  was  to  be  transferred  from  the

7th  Regiment  to  the  6th,  reached  him  at  2  A.M.  He  said  to  the  messenger, 
"Tell  His  Excellency  that  I  shall  be  at  the  State  House  with  my  full  com 
pany  by  11  o'clock  to-day,"  and  he  was  there.  Captain  Pratt  of  the  3d 
Battalion  of  Rifles  was  also  assigned  to  the  6th,  as. was  the  company  of 
Captain  Sampson  of  Boston.  Captain  Pratt  received  his  order  late  in  the 
afternoon  of  the  16th,  and  was  in  Boston  with  his  company  early  on  the  17th. 
These  were  but  examples  of  the  promptness  to  be  seen  almost  everywhere. 
The  first  regiment  to  leave  the  State  was  the  4th  M.  V.  M.  (Colonel 
Packard),  which  went  by  afternoon  train  (April  17)  to  Fall  River,  to  take 
the  steamer  for  New  York  and  thence  to  Fortress  Monroe.  The  6th  (Colonel 
Jones)  left  for  Washington  by  rail,  but  at  a  later  hour.  The  3d  (Colonel 
Wardrop)  was  embarked  on  the  steamer  Spalding  for  Fortress  Monroe,  but 
remained  in  the  harbor  till  morning.  The  8th1  (Colonel  Munroe)  was  delayed 
by  the  desire  to  attach  to  it  other  companies ;  it  was  not  ordered  to  proceed 
until  April  18,  and  was  then  accompanied  by  Brig. -Gen.  (afterwards  major- 
general)  B.  F.  Butler,  the  instructions  from  Washington  having  now  been 
modified  to  include  four  regiments  and  a  brigadier-general.  This  regiment 
went  through  Philadelphia,  after  being,  like  the  6th,  warmly  received  in  New 
York,  it  being  the  second  regiment  that  had  marched  through  that  city  in 
advance  of  all  others,  while  two  other  regiments  were  on  the  sea  for  Fortress 
Monroe.2  In  addition,  on  April  19,  Col.  S.  C.  Lawrence  of  the  5th 
M.  V.  M.  was  ordered  to  report  for  duty,  and  five  companies  of  the  7th 
M.  V.  M.  were  added  to  his  command  (B,  E,  F,  G,  H),  one  of  which,  how 
ever  (E),  was  disbanded  for  insubordination,  and  a  new  company  (Captain 
Ward  well)  substituted.  Maj  A.  F.  Cook's  company  of  light  artillery  was 
also  attached  to  Colonel  Lawrence's  command.  The  3d  Battalion  of  Rifles 
of  Worcester,  Major  (afterwards  general)  Devens,  received  its  orders  on 
April  20,  and  was  in  line  on  the  afternoon  of  that  day ;  and  was  joined 
later  (May  1)  by  Capt.  Albert  Dodd's  company  from  Boston.  This  com 
pleted  the  list  of  the  three  months'  volunteers,  whose  statistics  were  as 
follows  :  — 


1  The  8th  M.  V  M.  came  mainly  from  Essex  County;  the  3d  and  4th  mainly  from  Norfolk,  Plymouth 
and  Bristol;  the  6th  mainly  from  Middlesex,  with  one  company  from  Boston  and  one  from  Worcester.

When  we  stop  to  consider  what  an  utterly  peaceful  community  had  been, 
until  within  a  week  or  two,  that  which  these  regiments  represented,  it  is 
impossible  not  to  admire  the  promptness  with  which  they  took  up  arms. 
In  the  later  fatigues  of  the  war  we  looked  back  almost  with  wonder  on  the 
enthusiasm  which  had  welcomed  these  early  regiments.  They  had  en 
countered  little  danger,  and  some  of  them  had  scarcely  heard  a  shot  fired  in 
anger ;  yet  Napoleon's  veterans  could  hardly  have  been  received  with 
more  reverence  and  gratitude.  The  instinct  was  just,  for  it  was  really  these 
militia  regiments,  and  such  as  these,  which  had  saved  the  nation  during 
that  first  period  of  peril. 

While  the  early  recruiting  was  going  hastily  on  in  Massachusetts,  there 
occurred  striking  cases  of  persons  whose  zeal  urged  them  to  the  front,  to 
give  their  aid  at  Washington.  One  of  the  most  noticeable  of  these  instances 


16  NARRATIVE. 


was  that  of  Charles  Russell  Lowell,  Jr.,  afterwards  well  known  as  a  general 
of  cavalry,  who,  on  hearing  of  the  occurrences  of  April  19  in  Baltimore,  set 
forth  alone  by  rail,  made  his  way  from  Baltimore  to  Washington  on  foot, 
by  circuitous  routes  and  under  various  disguises,  and  in  Washington  aided 
in  the  preparations  for  defence,  having  filed  his  application  for  a  commission 
as  lieutenant  in  the  regular  army.  He  was  also  employed  as  a  scout  and  as 
a  semi-official  agent  for  Massachusetts.  Later  in  the  war  he  died  of  wounds 
received  at  Cedar  Creek,  Va.1  Another  and  an  earlier  instance  was  that  of 
Dexter  F.  Parker  of  Worcester,  a  young  mechanic  of  marked  literary 
tastes,  who  had  already  at  thirty  years  of  age  represented  Worcester  in 
both  branches  of  the  State  Legislature,  and  who,  when  the  call  for  troops 
was  issued,  enlisted  in  the  Worcester  Light  Infantry,  but  went  alone  to 
Washington  in  advance,  and  was  one  of  the  few  who  aided  in  measures  for 
its  defence  until  his  regiment,  the  6th,  arrived  from  its  bloody  march 
through  Baltimore.  He  afterwards  rose  to  be  major  of  the  10th  Mass. 
Infantry,  and  died  after  the  amputation  of  an  arm,  which  was  rendered 
necessary  by  wounds  received  at  Spotsylvania.2  Such  instances  as  these 
showed  the  spirit  which  then  pervaded  multitudes  of  young  men  in  all 
occupations. 

If  it  be  asked  what  circumstances  enabled  the  State  of  Massachusetts  to 
respond  thus  promptly  in  time  of  need,  it  must  be  attributed  in  part  to 
the  old  revolutionary  traditions  of  her  people  and  in  part  also  to  the  fore 
sight  of  two  successive,  governors  ;  that  of  Governor  Banks,  in  developing 
the  regimental  organization  of  the  militia,  before  regarded  merely  as  a 
series  of  detached  companies ;  and  that  of  Governor  Andrew,  in  ordering 
first  an  accurate  levy  of  the  militia 3  and  then  recommending  (against  disap 
proval  and  even  derision)  that  the  State  should  contract  for  overcoats, 
blankets,  knapsacks  and  ball  cartridges  for  two  thousand  troops.  There 
were  already  in  the  armory  of  the  State  when  the  war  broke  out  three 
thousand  Springfield  rifled  muskets  of  the  best  pattern.  Trivial  as  this

2  See  his  memoir  in  Marvin's  Worcester  in  the  War,  p.  489.    It  is  a  curious  illustration  of  the  condition 
of  discipline  in  the  early  part  of  the  war  that  this  officer's  appointment  as  major  from  outside  the  regiment 
(Aug.  12,  1862)  led  to  the  resignation  and  dismissal  of  nine  line  officers  who  had  served  with  it  from  the 
beginning,  their  cashiering  or  dismissal  dating  Nov.  25,  1862.     (Adjutant-General's  report,  January,  1863, 
p.  127.)

THE  THREE  MONTHS'  REGIMENTS.  17 

provision  now  seems,  it  enabled  Massachusetts  to  be  first  in  the  breach,  and 
perhaps  to  save  Washington. 

But  the  actual  enlistment  of  soldiers  was  only  one  of  the  many  ways  in 
which  the  aroused  public  sentiment  showed  itself.  Cheques  and  other  gifts 
were  received  from  individuals,  for  sums  from  ten  thousand  dollars  down 
ward,  William  Gray  and  Gardner  Brewer  each  giving  the  former  sum.  The 
Boston  banks  offered  to  loan  the  State,  without  security,  the  sum  of  three 
million,  six  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  war  purposes,  and  offered  to  the 
secretary  of  the  treasury  to  take,  with  the  banks  of  New  York  and  Phila 
delphia,  their  share  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  million  dollars  in  treasury 
notes.  Secretary  Chase  said  that  when  the  credit  of  the  government  needed 
the  support  of  some  great  financial  leader,  he  found  it  in  Mr.  Samuel 
Hooper  of  Boston,  "  to  whom  I  am  indebted,"  he  said,  "  for  more  assistance 
than  any  other  man  in  the  country."  He  also  said,  "I  sent  the  first 
treasury  note  that  was  ever  signed  to  Mr.  Edward  Wallace  of  Salisbury, 
Mass.,  in  recognition  of  his  having  been  the  first  man  in  the  country  to  offer 
a  loan  to  the  government  without  interest." 

Drs.  George  H.  Lyman  and  Wm.  J.  Dale  at  once  organized  a  medical 
department,  which  maintained  its  efficiency  to  the  very  end  of  the  war.1 
The  former  had  for  some  time  been  studying  for  just  such  service,  in  antici 
pation  of  war  ;  and  the  latter  wrote  thus  :  "On  the  sixteenth  day  of  April, 
18'61,  I  was  called  from  my  professional  pursuits  by  Governor  Andrew  to 
assist  Dr.  George  H.  Lyman  in  furnishing  medical  supplies  for  the  6th 
Regiment,  and  I  continued  under  direction  of  the  governor  to  perform  con 
jointly  with  Dr.  Lyman  such  duties  as  were  incidental  to  a  medical  bureau 
until  the  loth  of  June,  1861,  when  I  was  commissioned  surgeon-general  of 
Massachusetts,  with  the  rank  of  colonel."1  Many  of  the  first  physicians  of 
Boston  at  the  same  time  offered  their  services  to  attend  gratuitously  the 
families  of  soldiers.  Lawyers  agreed  to  take  charge  of  the  legal  business 
of  young  lawyers  who  might  enlist.  The  Rev.  W.  H.  Cudworth  of  East 
Boston,  not  content  with  offering  his  services  as  chaplain  for  the  first  three 
years'  regiment,  announced  to  his  congregation  that,  if  his  services  were 
not  needed,  he  should  devote  his  usual  salary  to  the  common  cause,  and 
that  his  organist  and  sexton  would  do  the  same ;  he,  moreover,  advised 
that  the  money  which  had  been  raised  for  a  new  church  should  be  devoted

to  the  soldiers,  and  that  they  should  be  content  with  the  old  building  until 
the  war  should  be  over.  These  things  but  feebly  illustrate  the  outburst  of 
patriotism  inspired  by  the  war.  And  when  it  is  remembered  that  Massa 
chusetts  was  represented,  at  this  time,  by  Charles  Sunmer  and  Henry 
Wilson  in  the  United  States  Senate,  and  by  Charles  Francis  Adams  at  the 
Court  of  St.  James,  it  may  fairly  be  claimed  that  she  began  the  period  of 
the  great  civil  war  in  a  becoming  manner. 

The  6th  Mass.  Infantry,  which  has  been  called  with  propriety  the 
State's  one  historic  regiment,  now  demands  a  special  consideration.  This 
organization  had  the  undying  honor  of  being  the  first  regiment  to  reach 
Washington,  fully  organized  and  equipped,  at  the  call  of  the  President.  It 
was  brought  together  at  Lowell  on  the  16th  of  April,  the  morning  after  the 
proclamation  was  issued,  the  officers  of  the  regiment  having  previously  held 
a  meeting  on  Jan.  21,  1861,  at  the  suggestion  of  Gen.  B.  F.  Butler,  and 
offered  its  services  to  the  government.  As  gathered,  the  regiment  included 
four  companies  from  Lowell,  two  from  Lawrence,  one  from  Groton,  one 
from  Acton  and  one  from  Worcester.  In  Boston,  which  was  reached  at 
1  P.M.,  there  were  added  a  Boston  company  and  a  Stoneham  company, 

making  eleven  in  all,  or  about  seven  hundred  men.     These  men  were  among 

o  o 

the  very  first  fruits  of  the  enlistment,  entering  the  service  without  a  bounty  ; 
in  many  cases  wholly  new  to  drill  and  discipline,  untried  even  in  the  muster- 
field.  Their  heterogeneous  uniform  was  characteristic  of  the  period.  Seven 
of  the  companies  wore  blue  uniform  coats,  dark  or  light,  sometimes  with 
red  trousers  ;  four  companies  wore  gray,  with  buif  or  yellow  trimmings.1 
Some  companies  had  two  lieutenants,  some  had  four;  some  had  learned 
the  old  "  Scott"  drill,2  others  the  "  Hardee"  tactics,  then  a  novelty,  after 
wards  universal. 

Passing  through  Boston,  New  York  and  Philadelphia,  the  regiment  was 
received  with  enthusiasm,  but  in  the  last-named  city,  or  just  after  leaving 
it,  Col.  Edward  F.  Jones,  the  commander,  received  intimation  that  the 
passage  through  Baltimore  would  be  disputed.  He  accordingly  went 
through  the  cars  and  personally  issued  an  order  saying  that  the  regiment 
would  march  through  Baltimore  in  column  of  sections,  arms  at  will ;  that

THE  THREE   MONTHS'  REGIMENTS.  19 

they  would  probably  be  insulted  and  perhaps  attacked,  but  were  not  to 
fire  unless  at  the  order  of  their  officers. 

The  train  of  thirty-five  cars  reached  the  President  Street  station  in 
Baltimore  at  "  about  10  A.M.,"  according  to  Captain  Follansbee,  but  accord 
ing  to  Mayor  Brown  of  that  city,  at  11  A.M.1  This  gentleman  has  always 
maintained  that  if  the  regiment  had  marched  in  a  body  through  the  city  — 
which  had  been  done  the  day  before  by  an  unarmed  force  from  Pennsylvania, 
with  a  few  regular  troops  —  there  would  have  been  no  serious  trouble.  It 
had  been  the  intention  of  Colonel  Jones  to  do  this ;  and  twenty  rounds  of 
ball  cartridges  had  been  issued  to  the  regiment  and  rifles  had  been  loaded 
and  capped.  But  it  was  the  practice  at  the  President  Street  station  to  detach 
the  through  cars,  on  arrival,  and  have  each  drawn  by  four  horses  through 
the  city  to  the  Camden  Street  station,  a  distance  of  more  than  a  mile; 
and  this  practice,  previously  unknown  to  Colonel  Jones,  was  followed  at 
this  time.  The  effect  was  of  course  hopelessly  to  disintegrate  the  raw  and 
untried  regiment.  About  nine  cars,  containing  seven  companies,  with 
which  was  Colonel  Jones,  went  through  in  safety,  except  that  the  last  car, 
containing  Co.  K,  was  delayed  by  obstructions  on  the  track  and  had  some 
windows  broken.  These,  with  other  obstacles,  including,  for  instance,  a 
heavy  anchor,  soon  made  the  track  absolutely  impassable,  and  the  gather 
ing  mob  saw  the  four  remaining  companies,  without  their  colonel,  in  a  man 
ner  delivered  into  its  hands.  These  companies  were  C,  D,  I,  L,  under 
Captains  Follansbee,  Hart,  Pickering  and  Dike;  also  the  band,  and  an  un 
armed  force  from  Pennsylvania,  neither  of  which  two  bodies  left  the  station. 
The  four  companies  formed  on  President  Street,  numbering  about  two 
hundred  and  twenty  men  in  all,  under  Captain  Follansbee,  and  set  out  on 
their  march.  The  mob  crowded  in  upon  them,  throwing  paving  stones  and 
other  missiles.  The  troops  increased  their  pace  to  double-quick ;  pistol 
shots  were  fired,  and  one  soldier  fell  dead.  Mayor  Brown  arrived  on  the 
scene,  asked  Captain  Follansbee  to  discontinue  the  double-quick,  and  said 
to  him,  "You  must  defend  yourselves."  He  then  placed  himself  by  the 
captain's  side  and  marched  about  a  third  of  a  mile,  as  he  states,  with  the 
troops,  which  occasionally  fired  irregularly.  After  a  time,  Marshal  Kane 
with  a  body  of  policemen  (less  than  fifty)  came  up  on  the  run  and  placed

20  NARRATIVE. 


themselves  in  the  rear  of  the  troops,  after  which  there  was  little  disorder. 
The  four  companies  on  reaching  the  Camden  Street  station  were  placed  in 
the  cars,  the  blinds  were  closed  by  order  of  Colonel  Jones,  and  the  regi 
ment  about  1  P.M.  went  on  to  Washington,  being  delayed,  while  still  near 
Baltimore,  by  obstructions  on  the  track. 

As  a  result  of  the  day,  four  Massachusetts  soldiers  were  killed  by  the 
mob:  Addison  O.  Whitney  of  Lowell  (born  in  Waldo,  Me.),  Luther  C. 
Ladd  of  Lowell  (born  in  Alexandria,  X.  H.),  Charles  A.  Taylor  (of  un 
known  residence  but  enlisted  in  Boston),  all  belonging  to  Co.  D,  and  Sum- 
ner  H.  Needham  of  Lawrence  (born  in  Bethel,  Me.),  a  member  of  Co.  C. 
It  is  a  curious  fact  that,  while  the  bodies  qf  the  three  other  soldiers  were 
brought  home  with  honor  and  buried  with  municipal  services  in  Lowell 
and  Lawrence,  that  of  Taylor  was  buried  in  an  unknown  grave  in  Balti 
more,  he  being  taken  for  a  civilian,  because  of  the  absence  of  uniform. 
His  loss  was  not  even  known  until  his  overcoat  was  forwarded  to  the  cap 
tain  of  his  company  by  one  who  saw  him  fall.  "No  trace  of  his  family 
or  friends  has  ever  been  discovered  .  .  .  though  a  box  was  received 
from  Boston  a  short  time  after  the  regiment  left  Baltimore."1  So  lately 
as  July  21,  1894,  the  usually  accurate  Boston  Transcript  stated  that  only 
three  Massachusetts  men  fell  at  Baltimore.  Thirty-six  were  wounded,  in 
cluding  Captain  Dike  of  Stoneham,  who  was  severely  wounded  in  the  thigh, 
was  taken  in  and  secreted  in  a  hotel  and  was  supposed  to  have  been  killed, 
and  Lieutenants  Lynde  and  Rowe,  all  of  Co.  L.  The  band  was  sent  back 
to  Boston  and  the  unarmed  Pennsylvania  force  to  Philadelphia.  Twelve 
of  the  Baltimore  men  were  killed.  War  was  fairly  inaugurated  by  the 
shedding  of  blood,  a  thing  which  had  not  occurred  during  the  contest  at 
Fort  Sumter.2 

The  6th  Mass,  was  unquestionably  the  first  Union  regiment  to  reach 
Washington,  armed  and  equipped.  It  had,  however,  been  preceded  by  a 
force  from  Pennsylvania,  comprising  five  militia  companies,  mustering  four 

1  Hanson's  6th  Regiment,  p.  48.    Governor  Andrew  ordered  the  bodies  brought  "  tenderly."' 

2  The  best  and  most  careful  account  of  the  whole  affair  at  Baltimore  is  that  entitled  Baltimore 
and  the  19th  of  April,  1861,  by  George  Wm.  Brown,  chief  jtidge  of  the  supreme  bench  of  Baltimore  and 
mayor  of  the  city  in  1861.    Colonel  Jones's  report  may  be  found  in  Official  War  Records,  I,  7,  and  in 
Adjutant-General  Schouler's  report  for  January,  1862;   it  is  unexceptionable  in  tone,  but  is  limited  in 
value  by  the  fact  that  he  was  not  with  the  companies  assailed  on  the  march,  and  had  to  rely  on  hearsay. 
A  modest  and  manly  letter  from  Captain  Dike  may  be  found  in  Brown,  p.  53,  and  one  from  Captain 
Follansbee  in  Hanson's  6th  Mass.,  p.  40.

or  five  hundred  men,  only  thirty-four  of  whom  were  furnished  with  fire 
arms.  "Apart  from  these,  there  was  not  a  charge  of  powder  in  the  five 
companies,"  says  the  official  historian  of  the  Pennsylvania  soldiers,  adding 
that  <  <  great  solicitude  was  felt  by  the  State  officials  at  Harrisburg  for  the 
safety  of  these  unarmed  and  defenceless  men."  l 

The  Philadelphia  men  reached  Washington  at  7  P.M.,  April  18,  and  the 
Logan  Guards  sent  in  its  morning  report  to  the  Adjutant-General  on 
the  next  day.  On  the  same  day  (April  19)  the  6th  Mass.  Infantry  arrived 
at  9  P.M. 

Governor  Andrew  had  sent  to  Washington,  in  advance  of  the  6th  Mass. 
Infantry,  Phineas  S.  Davis  (afterwards  killed,  in  1864,  as  colonel  of  the 
39th  Mass.  Infantry)  ;  and  under  arrangements  perfected  by  him,  the  regi 
ment  was  quartered  in  the  Senate  Chamber,  and  was  the  main  reliance  for 
the  defence  of  the  city  until  the  arrival  of  the  later  regiments,  the  8th  and 
5th,  with  the  7th  New  York,  by  way  of  Annapolis.  It  is  well  to  record 
here  that  in  the  following  July,  after  the  battle  of  Bull  Run,  when  the  term 
of  the  6th  had  expired,  it  remained  in  service  at  the  governor's  request,  on 
his  assurance  that  the  Capitol  was  still  in  danger  and  not  a  regiment  could 
be  spared.  A  vote  of  thanks  for  this  service  was  passed  by  the  National 
House  of  Representatives.  But  it  was  a  finer  compliment  when  the  anxious 
Lincoln  said  to  the  wounded  soldiers  of  the  6th  Mass,  at  Washington  :  "I 
begin  to  believe  that  there  is  no  North.  The  7th  Regiment  is  a  myth. 
Rhode  Island  is  a  myth.  You  are  the  only  reality."2 

V.   THE  ROUTE  THROUGH  ANNAPOLIS. 

Next  to  the  early  service  of  the  6th  M.  V.  M.,  the  most  conspicuous  was 
that  of  the  8th  M.  V.  M.  in  its  march  to  Washington  via  Annapolis. 

The  circumstances  of  this  advance  were  at  first  greatly  misapprehended, 

1  Bates,  History  of  Pennsylvania  Volunteers,  I,  6.    The  companies  were  the  Logan  Guards  (to  which 
the  thirty-four  armed  men  belonged),  the  Allen  Guards,  the  Washington  Artillery,  the  National  Light  In 
fantry  and  the  Ringgold  Artillery.    The  latter  had  been  expressly  required  to  leave  its  field  pieces  and 
.equipments  behind  at  Harrisburg,  but  the  men  carried  their  sabres.    It  does  not  appear  that  any  of  these 
except  the  thirty-four  armed  men  of  the  Logan  Guards  were  uniformed.    Arms,  ammunition  and  equipments 
were  furnished  them  in  Washington.     (Bates,  I,  7.)     The  whole  number  in  the  lists  of  the  five  companies 
as  given  by  Bates  is  four  hundred  and  eighty-two ;  but  the  vote  of  thanks  passed  by  Congress,  July  22, 
1861,  calls  them  "the  five  hundred  and  thirty  soldiers  from  Pennsylvania  who  passed  through  the  mob  of 
Baltimore."     (Bates,  I,  pp.  7-12.)     It  is  probable  that  the  framer  of  this  resolution  mistakenly  included 
in  his  count  the  regular  troops  from  the  4th  Artillery,  under  Lieutenant  Pembertori,  who  to  the  number  of 
forty  or  fifty  accompanied  the  Pennsylvania  men  only  as  far  as  Fort  McHenry.     (Bates,  I,  5.)

but  have  now  been  put  in  a  clear  light,  like  so  many  other  things,  by 
the  publication  in  Official  War  Records  of  the  original  letters  and  tele 
graphic  despatches  which  preceded.  The  6th  Mass,  was  attacked  in  Balti 
more,  as  has  been  said,  on  April  19.  On  that  same  day  Messrs.  John 
Edgar  Thomson  and  Samuel  M.  Felton,  presidents  respectively  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Central  and  the  Philadelphia  &  Baltimore  railroads,  tele 
graphed  to  the  Secretary  of  War  from  Philadelphia,  saying  that  they  were 
informed  that  it  was  impracticable  to  send  more  troops  through  Baltimore, 
and  adding,  "  Shall  we  send  them  through  Annapolis  ?'M 

No  reply  was  received  that  day ;  but  that  night  a  consultation  was  held 
in  Philadelphia  at  the  house  of  Major-General  Patterson,  commanding 
the  department  of  Washington,  and  then  second  in  command  to  General 
Scott  only.  Mr.  Felton,  Mr.  Thomson,  Governor  Curtin  and  the  mayor  of 
Philadelphia  were  present.  They  agreed  on  the  desirableness  of  the  plan  ; 
and,  as  no  answer  had  yet  come  from  Washington,  and  General  Butler  had 
meantime  arrived  in  Philadelphia  with  the  8th  Mass.,  it  was  decided  to  call 
his  attention  to  the  matter.  General  Patterson  sent  a  message  by  Mr. 
Felton  to  General  Butler  to  the  effect  that  "  he  most  urgently  advised  that 
he  should  go  to  Annapolis,"  and  Captain  (afterwards  admiral)  Dupont 
called  with  Mr.  Felton  on  General  Butler,  strongly  advising  him  to  take 
this  action.  After  some  opposition,  he  yielded ;  and  Colonel  Lefferts,  who 
arrived  with  the  7th  New  York  Regiment,  after  some  similar  opposition, 
finally  yielded  also,  first  telegraphing  to  the  War  Department  for  author 
ity,  as  was  proper.2 

All  the  events  of  the  period  were  confused  by  the  inflated  atmosphere 
that  prevailed,  and  this  extended  to  the  author  of  Massachusetts  in  the 
Rebellion  (P.  C.  Headley),  who  thus  sums  up  the  events  :  "At  dead  of 
night,  with  the  rapidity  of  a  strong  mind,  stimulated  to  its  quickest  thought 
by  the  rush  of  events,  he  [General  Butler]  made  out  in  writing  his  plan  of 
operations  ; "  this  plan  being  one  in  reality  thought  out  twro  months  before 
by  a  modest  railway  president,  foreseeing  the  impending  troubles.3

despatch  of  Colonel  Lefferts  were  :  "  Will  you  give  orders  to  despatch  troops  via  Annapolis  to-day  ?  .  .  . 
We  think  this  decidedly  best."    This  disposes  of  the  charge  made  at  the  time,  in  Massachusetts  at  least, 
that  Colonel  Lefferts  shrank  from  the  enterprise  and  General  Butler  did  not.

THE  ROUTE  THROUGH  ANNAPOLIS.  23 

It  is  a  curious  fact,  but  characteristic  of  the  crude  enthusiasm  of  those 
early  days  of  preparation,  that  the  railway  president  was  not  more  com 
pletely  ignored  by  the  Massachusetts  soldiers  than  by  their  comrades  from 
New  York,  although  the  transfer  of  the  honor  was  in  a  different  direction. 
All  the  glory  of  the  enterprise  heaped  by  Massachusetts  on  General  Butler 
was  with  equal  unanimity  and  with  quite  as  much  reason  attributed  to 
Colonel  Leiferts.  In  the  spirited  narrative  of  the  7th  Regiment's  march, 
written  by  Fitz  James  O'Brien  for  the  New  York  Times,  he  says  :  "  The 
secret  of  this  forced  march,  as  well  as  an  unexpected  descent  on  Annapolis, 
was  the  result  of  Colonel  Lefferts'  judgment,  which  has  since  been  sus 
tained  by  events.  .  .  .  The  fact  that  since  then  all  the  Northern  troops  have 
passed  through  the  line  that  we  thus  opened  is  a  sufficient  comment  on  the 
admirable  judgment  that  decided  the  movement."1  O'Brien  was  not  cor 
rect  in  attributing  the  action  to  the  "judgment  of  Colonel  Lefferts ; "  for 
it  had  been  virtually  decided  upon  by  General  Patterson,  General  Cadwal- 
lader,  Admiral  Dupont,  the  mayor  of  Philadelphia  and  the  two  railroad 
presidents ;  but  the  prompt  and  soldierly  action  of  Colonel  Lefferts  in  tele 
graphing  a  recommendation  of  the  plan  to  the  War  Department  —  a  thing 
which  General  Butler  should  have  done,  but  omitted  —  doubtless  had  its 
part  in  determining  the  action  of  that  department. 

Be  this  as  it  may,  the  next  morning  (April  20)  brought  a  positive 
order  from  Major-General  Scott,  in  the  name  of  the  President,  to  send  all 
troops  by  way  of  Annapolis,2  and  brought  also  a  despatch  from  Adjutant- 
General  Thomas  to  General  Patterson  to  the  same  effect,  this  being  in 
answer  to  the  request  of  Colonel  Lefferts  for  orders.3  General  Patterson 
at  once  communicated  the  instructions  to  General  Butler,  and  "gave 
directions,"  as  he  expressly  says,  "for  the  8th  Mass,  and  7th  New  York 
infantries  to  go  via  Annapolis  to  Washington."4  After  this  there  was,  of 
course,  no  alternative,  and  either  Butler  or  Lefferts  would  have  been  liable 
to  court  martial  had  he  gone  in  any  other  way.  The  only  reason  why  this

them  around  Baltimore  and  not  through  it."     (Lincoln's  letter  to  Governor  Hicks,  in  Brown's  Baltimore 
and  the  19th  of  April,  p.  62.)     He  suggested  the  Annapolis  route  to  Governor  Hicks  personally  on  April

was  not  clearly  understood  at  the  time  was  that  these  successive  steps  were 
not  made  public,  arid  that  General  Butler  wrote  at  the  time  a  letter  to 
Governor  Andrew l  in  which  he  omitted  all  reference  either  to  Mr.  Felton 
as  the  originator  of  the  plan  or  to  the  express  orders  finally  received. 

Leaving  Philadelphia  about  3  P.M.  on  April  20,  the  8th  Mass,  reached 
Perryville  about  6  P.M.,  and  found  a  steamer  quietly  awaiting  it,  as 
arranged  by  Mr.  Felton.  The  same  glamour  and  melodramatic  character 
were  thrown  in  the  newspapers  of  the  time  about  the  supposed  ' '  seizure  " 
of  this  ferry  boat.  General  Butler  in  his  letter  to  Governor  Andrew  de 
scribes  himself  as  detailing  officers  to  "take  possession  of  the  boat  at 
Havre-de-Grace "  (meaning  Perryville)  ; 2  and  Capt.  F.  T.  Newhall  says 
"  the  steamer  was  instantly  taken  without  firing  a  shot."3 

But  Greeley,  in  his  American  Conflict,  goes  far  beyond  this.  After 
describing  the  burnt  bridges  and  the  lack  of  cars,  he  proceeds  :  "But 
General  Butler  was  not  a  man  to  be  stopped  by  such  impediments.  Seiz 
ing  the  spacious  and  commodious  ferry  steamer  Maryland,  he  embarked 
his  men  thereon."4  Nobody  took  the  pains  to  point  out  that  the  steamer 
had  on  the  preceding  day  (April  19)  been  retained  for  that  precise  pur 
pose  by  the  president  of  the  road,  Mr.  Felton,  who  had  also  provided 
it  with  coal  and  a  pilot  for  Annapolis  ;  5  so  that  it  was  simply  awaiting  the 
arrival  of  the  Massachusetts  troops  to  get  up  steam  and  proceed.  It  is 
very  probable  that  this  fact  was  not  generally  known  among  the  soldiers, 
though  it  must  have  been  known  to  General  Butler.  It  is  true  also  that 
the  whole  region  was  in  confusion,  and  that  the  Salem  Zouaves  (Captain 
Devereux),  attached  temporarily  to  the  8th  Mass.,  were  quite  right  in  ad 
vancing  upon  the  boat  as  guardedly  and  skilfully  as  if  they  were  in  an 
enemy's  country  and  the  boat  were  in  alien  hands ;  but  there  is  now  no 
doubt  in  regard  to  the  previous  intention  and  premeditation  by  which  the 
vessel  had  been  placed  there,  or  the  peacefulness  of  its  final  occupation.

Schouler  (I,  101,  133)  fully  recognizes  that  it  was  Felton  who  planned  the  expedition.    The  Comte  de 
Paris  makes  no  mention  of  Felton,  but  attributes  the  whole  plan  to  General  Wool,  whom  he  assumes  to 
have  been  without  instructions  from  Washington.

THE  OCCUPATION  OF  BALTIMORE.  25 

The  words  ' «  seized  "  and  ' '  taken  without  firing  a  shot  "  simply  belonged 
to  what  may  be  called  the  mythical  period  of  our  early  war  history.  The 
ferry  boat  was  anchored,  on  arrival,  near  the  schoolship,  the  frigate  Con 
stitution  ;  and  two  companies  were  placed  on  board  of  the  vessel  for  her 
security,  until  she  could  sail  for  New  York.  The  mechanical  training  of 
the  regiment  showed  itself  in  the  promptness  with  which  the  railway  and 
locomotives  were  repaired ;  and  the  regiment  with  the  7th  New  York  set 
forth  on  the  24th  upon  a  toilsome  march  to  Washington,1  where  they 
arrived  the  26th,  General  Butler  remaining  at  Annapolis. 

On  their  arrival  at  Washington,  Colonel  Monroe  asked  to  be  relieved 
from  command  and  Lieut. -Col.  Edward  W.  Hincks  was  promoted  to  his 
place.  Governor  Andrew  once  said  publicly  that  Colonel  (afterwards 
major-general)  Hincks  was  the  first  man  to  offer  him  his  individual  ser 
vices  for  the  war.  When  the  regiment  was  mustered  out  after  three 
months'  service,  it  received  special  thanks  from  Congress  for  the  energy 
and  patriotism  displayed  by  it  in  overcoming  obstacles,  both  by  sea  and 
land. 

VI.      THE    OCCUPATION   OF   BALTIMORE. 

On  May  12,  1861,  took  place  another  of  those  events  which,  having 
been  surrounded  with  the  excited  and  melodramatic  aspect  of  that  period, 
remained  in  this  confused  shape  until  the  official  records  were  published. 
On  the  day  already  named  General  Butler  ordered  a  force  from  the  Relay 
House  to  march  into  Baltimore  and  take  possession  of  Federal  Hill.  It 
was  practically  an  attempt  of  little  or  no  danger,  inasmuch  as  what  was 
then  called  the  "blockade"  of  Baltimore  was  ended,  and  a  force  of 
Pennsylvania  troops  under  Colonel  Patterson  had  marched  through  on 
May  9,  without  any  excitement,  under  orders  of  General  Patterson,  com 
manding  the  Department  of  Washington.2  But,  such  as  it  was,  this  occu- 

1  This  march  was  graphically  described  by  Major  Winthrop  (Atlantic  Monthly,  VII,  744). 

2  "  Having  succeeded  in  securing  a  well-protected  line  of  communication  with  Washington,  I  turned 
my  attention  to  re-establishing  the  route  through  Baltimore  .  .  .  and  in  this  I  was  well  aided  by  His 
Excellency  Governor  Hicks."     (Patterson's  Shenandoah  Campaign,  p.  27.)     The  force  which  opened  the 
way  through  Baltimore  consisted  of  five  companies  of  the  3d  U.  S.  Infantry,  Major  Shepard,  five  hundred 
men;  one  company  of  Maj.  T.  W.  Sherman's  battery,  six  pieces  of  cannon  and  seventy  horses;  and  the 
1st  Regiment  of  Penn.  Artillery,  "  17th  of  the  Line,"  and  afterwards  known  from  its  drab  hats  as  "the 
Quaker  Regiment,"  armed  with  muskets,  eight  hundred  men.    The  mayor,  police  commissioners  and  a 
police  force  were  present.     "  There  was  no  excitement  other  than  that  Avhich  proceeded  from  the  curiosity 
of  the  people  to  witness  the  proceedings."     (New  York  Tribune,  May  10,  1861,  in  Putnam's  Rebellion 
Record,  I  (Diary),  pp.  61,  62.)    "  Without  any  molestation  or  any  symptoms  of  a  hostile  demonstration." 
(Bates,  History  Pennsylvania  Volunteers,  I,  160.) 


26  NARRATIVE. 


pation  of  Baltimore  was  attributed  by  Parton  and  other  writers  of  that 
period  to  General  Butler's  own  initiative ;  yet  it  now  appears  from  his 
own  report  to  General  Scott,  dated  May  15,  1861,  that  this  act  was  per 
formed  "  in  obedience  to  verbal  directions  received  from  the  War  Depart 
ment  through  Mr.  Harriman."  l 

General  Scott  had,  however,  written,  the  day  previous,  that  it  was 
taken  without  his  knowledge  and  of  course  without  his  approbation.  It 
was  not  till  two  days  after  it  had  happened  that  General  Butler  thought  it 
necessary  to  inform  General  Scott,  and  then  only  in  answer  to  a  peremptory 
telegram.2  The  removal  of  General  Butler  from  the  command  of  Annapolis 
was  undoubtedly  due  as  much  to  this  neglect  as  to  any  disapproval  of  his 
action.  This  was  more  than  five  months,  it  must  be  remembered,  before 
the  time  when  General  Scott  retired  from  the  command  of  the  Union 
armies. 

The  narratives  of  the  day  added  something  of  the  same  melodramatic 
character  to  all  the  details  of  this  occupation.  In  Mr.  Parton's  descrip 
tion  :  "A  thunderstorm  of  irregular  character,  extraordinary  both  for  its 
violence  and  extent,  hung  over  the  city,  black  as  midnight.  .  .  .  The  depot 
was  almost  deserted  and  scarcely  any  one  was  in  the  streets.  .  .  .  The 
orders  were  for  no  man  to  speak  a  needless  word  ;  no  drums  to  beat.  .  .  . 
When  the  line  had  cleared  the  depot  the  storm  burst.  Such  torrents  of 
rain  !  Such  a  ceaseless  blaze  of  lightning !  Such  crashes  and  volleys  of 
thunder !  .  .  .  Not  a  countenance  appeared  in  any  window ;  for  so  inces 
sant  was  the  thunder  that  the  tramp  of  horses,  the  tread  of  the  men,  the 
rumble  of  the  cannon  were  not  heard."  3  Such  is  the  melodramatic  scene 
conjured  up  by  the  skilled  imagination  of  Mr.  Parton,  —  one  of  the  most 
amiable  of  men,  but  one  of  the  least  reliable  of  historians,  —  a  picture 
annihilated  in  a  moment  by  the  testimony  of  his  own  subject  of  biography, 
who  writes  to  General  Scott  that  he  "  took  possession  of  Federal  Hill  amid 
the  plaudits  of  many  of  the  people."  J  The  Baltimore  Clipper  of  the  day 
after  the  entry  was  still  more  explicit:  "  On  the  route  to  the  Hill  the 
streets  were  thronged  with  people,  who  greeted  the  military  with  cheers  at 
every  stop,  the  ladies  at  the  windows  and  the  doors  joining  in  the  applause 
by  waving  their  handkerchiefs."  It  then  describes  how,  when  the  troops

THE  THREE  YEARS'  REGIMENTS.  27 

had  reached  their  destination,  and  not  till  then,  "their  operations  were 
seriously  interrupted  by  a  soaking  shower."1  Thus  curiously  exaggerated 
and  distorted,  in  those  days,  was  every  step  of  our  novel  military 
experience. 

The  troops  which  accompanied  General  Butler  on  this  expedition  were 
the  6th  Mass.  V.  M.,  Colonel  Jones  (five  hundred),  the  8th  N.  Y.  Infantry, 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Waterbury  (four  hundred  and  fifty),  and  a  section  of 
Cook's  Battery,  under  Major  Cook.  No  lives  were  lost  or  even  endangered  ; 
yet  at  that  period  of  inexperience  it  seemed  an  important  military  move 
ment,  and  it  doubtless  did  much  to  confirm  that  sway  of  the  more  loyal 
elements  in  Baltimore,  which  soon  became  unquestionable.  But  it  also 
contributed  to  that  rather  impulsive  and  undisciplined  way  of  action,  on 
the  part  of  energetic  officers,  which  cost  so  many  lives  before  it  had  given 
place  to  military  discipline. 

VII.      THE    THREE   YEARS'   REGIMENTS. 

The  three  months'  levy  was  now  in  the  field.  But  those  who  already 
saw  that  a  long  and  difficult  war  was  upon  us  —  nobody  yet  deemed  how 
formidable  —  felt  the  absolute  necessity  of  longer  enlistments.  On  May  3 
Governor  Andrew  wrote  to  President  Lincoln  :  "I  beg  leave  to  add  that 
immediately  on  receiving  your  proclamation  we  took  up  the  war  and  have 
carried  on  our  part  of  it  in  the  spirit  in  which  we  believe  the  administra 
tion  and  the  American  people  intend  to  act ;  namely,  as  if  there  were  not 
an  inch  of  red  tape  in  the  world.  We  have  now  enough  additional  men  to 
furnish  you  with  six  more  regiments  to  serve  for  the  war,  unless  sooner 
discharged."2  This  meant  a  three  years'  enlistment,  —  a  term  which  covered 
all  the  time  that  any  one  then  deemed  necessary.3  On  May  3,  1861,  the 
President  called  for  thirty-nine  regiments  of  infantry  and  one  of  cavalry, 
to  serve  for  three  years  or  during  the  war;  but  it  was  not  until  May  19 
that  the  quota  of  Massachusetts  was  assigned.  Companies  were  meanwhile

Regiment,  Rev.  J.  AV.  Hanson,  says  nothing  of  any  storm  encountered  on  arriving  at  the  city,  but  says 
that  there  was  a  violent  thunder  shower  after  the  arrival  at  Federal  Hill,  and  while  the  troops  were  rais 
ing  their  flag  (p.  61).

as  the  term  of  enlistment,  —  a  piece  of  foresight  then  almost  unexampled.    See,  ante,  p.  9.

organized  and  drilled,  and  paraded  the  streets  ;  the  governor  telegraphed 
again  and  again  for  orders  to  enlist  them  in  regiments ;  for  more  than  a 
fortnight  no  reply  came  from  Washington.  At  last  on  May  22  a  letter 
was  received  from  Secretary  S.  Cameron  (dated  May  15),  authorizing  the 
State,  almost  as  a 'favor,  to  furnish  six  regiments,  and  adding:  "  It  is 
important  to  reduce  rather  than  enlarge  this  number,  and  in  no  event  to 
exceed  it.  Let  me  earnestly  recommend  you,  therefore,  to  call  for  no  more 
than  eight  regiments,  of  which  six  only  are  to  serve  for  three  years  or  dur 
ing  the  war,  and  if  more  are  already  called  for  to  reduce  the  number  by  dis 
charge."  1  It  is  plain  from  this  that  the  loyal  governors  had  to  raise  troops 
at  the  outset  under  the  direct  discouragement  of  the  War  Department 
itself;  and  that  they  were  expected  to  repress,  not  stimulate,  the  patriotic 
zeal  of  the  citizens.  No  one  can  read  the  reports  of  the  early  town  meet 
ings  of  Massachusetts,  to  which  the  second  volume  of  Schouler's  history  is 
devoted,  without  recognizing  that  there  was  in  these  self-governing  com 
munities  far  more  comprehension  of  the  real  greatness  of  the  struggle  then 
before  us  than  was  to  be  found  among  the  so-called  statesmen  at  Wash 
ington.  Most  wars  in  other  nations  have  been  the  work  of  rulers  or  public 
men,  who  have  drawn  unwilling  nations  after  them ;  but  the  American 
Civil  War  was  at  first,  and  remained  for  a  long  time,  at  the  North,  a  war 
whose  full  importance  was  first  recognized  by  the  people,  urging  on  a  slow 
and  reluctant  government.2 

The  six  regiments  thus  called  for  "  were  organized,  armed,  equipped, 
clothed  and  sent  forward  within  four  weeks  after  orders  were  received  that 
they  would  be  accepted."3  The  1st  (Colonel  Cowdin)  left  the  State  on 
June  15  for  Washington,  and  was  the  first  three  years'  regiment  that 
arrived  there  ;  the  2d  (Colonel  Gordon)  left  the  State  July  8  for  the  front ; 
the  7th  left  for  Washington  July  11 ;  the  9th  and  llth  on  June  24  and  the 
10th  on  June  25,  —  all  for  Washington.  All  these  were  three  years'  regi-

2  General  Sherman,  in  his  Memoirs  (I,  231),  describes  a  conversation  with  Mr.  Cameron  in  October, 
1861,  in  which  the  former  said :  "  I  asserted  that  there  were  plenty  of  men  at  the  North  ready  and  willing 
to  come,  if  he  would  only  accept  their  services ;  for  it  was  notorious  that  regiments  had  been  formed  in  all 
the  north-western  States,  whose  services  had  been  refused  by  the  War  Department,  on  the  ground  that 
they  would  not  be  needed.  ...  I  thought  I  had  roused  Mr.  Cameron  to  a  realization  of  the  great  war  that 
was  before  us  and  was  in  fact  upon  us."    For  regiments  declined,  see  Schouler,  I,  148,  165, 167, 169;  also

ments  ;  and  when,  on  June  17,  the  consent  of  the  government  was  obtained 
for  raising  ten  more  regiments,  they  were  organized  with  the  same  energy 
which  had  already  given  Massachusetts  an  unquestioned  superiority  in 
promptness  of  organization  at  the  outbreak  of  the  war. 


VIII.      THE   EARLY   MAJOR-GENERALS. 

On  May  16,  1861,  before  any  battle  had  taken  place,  the  United  States 
government  began  its  appointment  of  major-generals  of  volunteers ;  and  as 
all  three  of  the  appointments  of  that  date  were  from  civil  life,1  and  as  two 
of  these  were  from  Massachusetts,  the  seniority  thus  established  had  an 
important  and  not  always  a  favorable  bearing  on  the  position  of  Massa 
chusetts  in  the  war.  The  senior  officer  of  the  three,  Gen.  John  A.  Dix, 
had  in  early  life  served  for  sixteen  years  in  the  regular  army  and  had  risen 
to  the  rank  of  captain,  but  General  Banks  and  General  Butler  had  had  only 
the  slight  experience  of  the  muster  field,  such  as  that  then  was,  and  had 
wholly  missed  the  valuable  discipline  of  the  lower  grades  of  command. 
The  mistake  —  as  was  pointed  out  freely  by  such  acute  foreign  observers  as 
Count  Gurowski  and  Comte  de  Paris2 — was  not  in  making  them  officers, 
but  in  putting  them  at  once  at  the  top  of  the  ladder.  Intended  as  a  com 
pliment,  it  was  in  reality  a  doubtful  advantage.  One  must  have  been  in 
military  service,  perhaps,  to  know  how  new  a  sphere  of  life  it  is  for  a 
civilian,  even  for  a  militia  man,  and  how  formidable  is  the  difficulty  of 
being  placed  at  one  stroke  where  one  must  give  orders  as  a  master,  instead 
of  learning  as  an  apprentice.  For  it  is  to  be  observed  that  if  a  man  placed 
suddenly  in  high  command  does  not  know  the  rudiments  of  his  trade  at 
first,  he  has  a  very  difficult  task  in  learning  them ;  he  cannot  easily  ask 
questions  of  his  subordinates,  and,  if  he  does,  cannot  get  them  impartially 
answered  ;  he  must  often  hold  his  tongue,  accept  the  attitude  of  omniscience 
and  remain  ignorant.  Unfortunately,  his  ignorance  may  have  to  be 
measured  at  last  by  the  human  lives  it  costs  to  teach  him.  A  civilian,  when 
placed  in  the  ranks,  or  even  made  a  line  or  field  officer,  can  at  least  ask 

1  The  next  one  was  that  of  Gen.  David  Hunter  (August  13),  and  the  next  that  of  Gen.  E.  A.  Hitch 
cock  (Feb.  10,  1862),  both  these  being  West  Point  graduates.

instruction  from  those  who  know  more  than  he  does  ;  but  the  senior  major- 
generals  of  an  army  cannot  easily  do  this,  and  are  hence  greatly  to  be 
pitied,  as  are  also,  sometimes,  those  who  are  to  serve  under  them. 

No  delusion  is  more  common  in  the  heart  of  an  American  citizen  than 
to  believe  that  a  man  who  has  shown  ability  in  any  sphere  can,  at  the 
shortest  possible  notice,  exhibit  it  in  the  highest  grade  of  any  other  sphere. 
It  was  common,  too,  at  the  beginning  of  the  war,  to  cite  historical  instances 
of  civilians  who  had,  by  merely  buckling  on  uniform,  become  great 
commanders.  Cromwell,  Hampden,  Andrew  Jackson  were  quoted  as 
examples  ;  but  Cromwell  began  military  service  as  captain  of  a  troop  of 
horse,  and  was  not  commissioned  even  as  colonel  until  he  had  gone  through 
the  battle  of  Edgehill.  Hampden  began  his  career  as  captain  of  a  local 
regiment,  and  rose  no  higher  than  colonel.  Jackson  had  fought  through 
six  months  of  Indian  warfare,  with  three  thousand  men  under  him,  before 
he  defended  New  Orleans  with  barely  twice  that  number.  These  modest 
precedents  certainly  gave  no  ground  for  entrusting  the  command  of  great 
army  corps  to  men  who  had  never  before  heard  a  shot  fired  in  anger. 
There  were  volunteer  generals  who  did  Massachusetts  peculiar  honor,  and 
who  had  the  inestimable  advantage  of  beginning  near  the  foot  of  the  ladder. 
Such  men  were  Hincks,  Devens,  Lowell,  Bartlett,  Miles.  With  these  and 
such  as  these  in  mind,  it  seems  too  strong  an  expression  to  say,  with 
a  recent  historical  writer,  "Not  one  New  England  soldier  achieved 
renown." 1  •  Bartlett  left  on  record,  in  the  most  instructive  way,  not 
merely  his  own  modesty  but  his  common-sense  view  of  high  military 
position.  He  was  probably,  out  of  all  those  whom  Massachusetts  sent 
forth,  the  man  who  had  the  most  precocious  and  innate  gift  for  war. 
After  he  had  been  appointed  brigadier-general  of  volunteers  (June  20  ? 
1864)  and  had  been  assigned  to  Major-General  Ledlie's  division  of  the  9th 
Corps,  there  was,  it  seems,  some  talk  of  giving  him  command  of  the 
division  ;  but  he  writes  to  his  mother,  "  I  think  I  had  rather  try  a  brigade, 
before  I  venture  any  higher,  although  the  whole  division  does  not  muster 
so  many  as  a  full  brigade  of  four  regiments  should."  2  Yet  the  man  who 
made  this  modest  remark  had  seen  three  years  of  the  most  active  service, 
had  been  in  action  repeatedly,  had  lost  a  leg  and  just  escaped  losing  an 
arm,  had  drilled  and  organized  two  raw  regiments,  and  had  twice  com-

manded,  for  short  intervals,  eight  thousand  men.  This  is  the  spirit  of  a 
true  officer ;  this  the  training  of  a  real  soldier. 

The  absence  of  this  training  was  the  great  obstacle  against  which  Dix, 
Banks  and  Butler  had  to  contend  ;  Dix  less  than  the  others,  because  he  had 
gone  through  an  early  military  education,  though  with  more  than  thirty 
years  of  civil  life  intervening,  and  also  because  he  was  not  called  upon  to 
command  an  army  corps.  All  three  were  men  of  distinguished  ability  ;  all 
showed  this  quality  wherever  mere  personal  energy  and  organizing  talent 
were  needed.  All  were,  for  instance,  successful  rulers  of  cities,  even  in 
war  time, — Dix  at  New  York,  Banks  at  Washington  and  Butler  at  New 
Orleans  ;  and  it  can  never  be  quite  known,  of  course,  what  purely  military 
eminence  they  might  have  obtained  had  they  begun  lower  down  in  the 
school. 

The  gradual  publication  of  the  official  records  of  the  war  has  had  a 
marked  effect  upon  the  military  reputation  of  these  two  conspicuous  Massa 
chusetts  officers.  In  the  case  of  General  Banks  this  influence  has  been 
rather  favorable,  as  showing  him  to  have  been  acting  under  positive  orders 
at  some  periods  when  his  action  was  most  criticised.  In  the  case  of 
General  Butler  the  effect  has  been  the  other  way,  because,  as  has  been 
already  seen,  the  inexorable  light  of  the  actual  letters  and  telegrams  has 
dispelled  much  of  the  glamor  thrown  by  enthusiastic  war  correspondents  — 
not  wholly  discouraged,  it  must  be  owned,  by  himself — over  a  somewhat 
sensational  career. 

He  had  indeed  in  many  respects  the  temperament  most  sure  to  suffer 
from  the  sudden  uplifting  to  high  influence  and  command.  He  had  some 
positive  traits  of  the  greatest  value :  great  promptness  of  action  and 
fertility  of  resources  ;  readiness  in  adopting  the  suggestions  of  others,  even 
to  the  extent  of  sometimes  forgetting  that  they  were  not  his  own  ;  and  a 
boundless  ambition,  often  showing  itself  in  trivial  ostentation,  but  often  in 
the  desire  to  identify  himself  with  real  public  service.  His  strokes  of  wit 
—  as  in  his  introduction  of  the  word  ' i  contraband "  —  were  sometimes 
half  battles.1  But  he  had  a  quick,  imperious  and  jealous  temper ;  great 
vindictiveness,  joined  with  much  ingenuity  in  inflicting  pain;  an  acuteness 
of  mind  which  readily  availed  itself  of  all  the  resources  of  military

Congress,  but  it  attracted  no  attention.

authority,  and  an  utter  disregard  of  all  the  defences  carefully  thrown  by 
wise  army  rules  about  the  rights  of  subordinates  ; 1  an  impetuous  reckless 
ness  of  statement  and  a  lawyer's  ingenuity  in  special  pleading.  If  ever  a 
man  entered  military  service  who  needed  the  rigid  preliminary  repression 
of  discipline,  he  was  that  man  ;  instead  of  which  he  was  taken  and  placed 
very  nearly  at  the  head  of  the  volunteer  service  of  the  country,  and  had 
under  his  power  the  life,  liberty  and  honor  of  many  thousand  men. 


IX.       THE    BATTLES    OF    1861. 

The  first  regiment  of  Massachusetts  to  engage  in  battle  in  the  war  was 
the  4th  Mass.  Infantry  (Colonel  Packard),  the  occasion  being  that  of 
Big  Bethel,  June  10,  1861,  an  aimless  contest,  of  which  it  can  only  be  said 
that  the  4th  Mass,  behaved  well.  The  real  disaster  was  the  first-fruit  of 
that  unfortunate  jealousy  of  the  regular  army  with  which  so  many  volunteer 
officers  began  their  careers  and  which  the  wisest  of  them  soon  outgrew.2 
General  Butler,  upon  whom  it  devolved  to  select  a  commander  for  this 
night  expedition,  had  at  his  command,  in  the  colonel  of  the  1st  Vermont, 
John  W.  Phelps,  an  officer  of  West  Point  training,  Mexican  war  experience 
and  proved  courage  ;  but,  passing  by  him,  he  designated  to  command  the 
night  attack  a  militia  brigadier  from  Massachusetts,  Gen.  (afterwards 
colonel)  E.  W.  Peirce,  who  was  doubtless  personally  brave  but  was 
utterly  inexperienced.  The  whole  plan  of  the  expedition  was  so  imprac 
ticable  that  Colonel  (afterwards  major-general)  Phelps  predicted  in 
advance  precisely  what  occurred, — that  the  troops,  coming  together  by 
different  routes  in  the  darkness  of  the  night,  would  fire  on  each  other. 
Nothing  was  gained  nor  could  anything  important  have  been  gained  by  the 
attempt ; 3  one  member  of  the  4th  Regiment  was  killed  and  two  wounded, 
while  two  very  valuable  lives,  those  of  Lieutenant  Greble,  U.  S.  A.,  and

p.  232. 

2  Generals  Devens  and  Hincks,  two  of  the  most  distinguished  of  the  Massachusetts  officers,  both  assured 
me  that  in  their  opinion  this  jealousy  was  wholly  unfounded,  and  that  they  personally  had  always  had 
the  friendliest  relations  with  regular  army  men.

General  Butler,  Official  War  Records,  II,  80.)     See  the  references  to  this  battle  in  De  Leon's  Four  Years 
in  Rebel  Capitals,  p.  113,  and  Walcott's  21st  Mass.,  p.  264. 


THE   BATTLES   OF   1861.  33 


Maj.  T.  Winthrop,  were  sacrificed  ;  and  the  discouragement  of  a  first  defeat 
formed  the  beginning  of  the  war.1 

When,  on  July  18,  1861,  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  made  its  first 
reconnoissance  at  Blackburn's  Ford,  the  duty  was  chiefly  performed  by  the 
1st  Mass.  Infantry  (Col.  Robert  Cowdin),  the  first  three  years'  regiment  to 
leave  the  State,  and  the  first  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  to  report  at 
Washington.  In  this  engagement  died  Lieut.  W.  H.  B.  Smith  of  Cam 
bridge,  the  first  of  two  hundred  and  eight  volunteer  lieutenants  from 
Massachusetts  who  fell  in  the  war ;  and  the  manner  of  his  death  was 
curiously  illustrative  of  that  early  period  of  playing  with  edge-tools.  The 
uniforms  of  the  two  armies  were  as  yet  so  much  alike  that,  as  in  the  early 
days  of  the  English  civil  war,  it  was  almost  impossible  to  tell  friend  from 
foe  when  a  few  hundred  yards  distant ;  and  it  was  only  when  Lieutenant 
Smith  had  announced  to  the  Confederate  skirmishers  that  he  was  from 
Massachusetts  that  he  was  killed  by  an  immediate  volley.  In  another  part 
of  the  same  field  the  same  explanation,  given  by  Captain  Carruth,  was  all 
that  prevented  a  Michigan  regiment  from  firing  on  the  1st  Mass.2 

Three  Massachusetts  regiments  only  took  part  in  the  battle  of  Bull  Run 
or  Manassas  (July  21,  1861),  these  being  the  1st  Infantry  (Colonel  Cow- 
din),  the  5th  (Colonel  Lawrence)  and  the  llth  (Col.  George  Clark,  Jr.). 
It  is  something  to  say  that  neither  of  the  three  did  itself  discredit  in  the 
way  of  cowardice  on  a  day  where  so  many  failed.  The  5th  remained  a  day 
beyond  its  term  of  service  to  take  part  in  the  affair,  and  its  colonel  was 
wounded,  his  life  being  saved  through  the  prompt  action  of  a  friend  and 

1  "  The  several  detachments  of  infantry,  with  a  section  of  regular  artillery,  in  command  of  Lieutenant 
Greble,  left  Newport  News  rather  late  the  night  before  the  Big  Bethel  affair.  Colonel  Phelps,  Major 
Stuart  of  the  Engineers  and  the  writer  accompanied  Lieutenant  Greble,  who  had  the  left  in  the  line 
of  march  for  about  three  miles.  During  the  walk  back  to  camp  Colonel  Phelps  stated  that,  in  his 
opinion,  the  detachments  coming  from  Camp  Hamilton  and  those  going  from  Newport  News,  commanded 
by  inexperienced  officers,  would  meet  in  the  early  dawn,  mistake  each  other  for  the  enemy,  then  a  con 
test  between  friendly  troops,  resulting  in  a  slaughter  of  our  own  men,  the  alarm  of  the  enemy,  their 
escape  and  the  total  failure  of  the  expedition.  The  writer  parted  with  him  at  his  tent  about  one  o'clock 
in  the  morning.  He  said  that  he  was  sure  that  the  anticipated  blunder  would  be  made,  and  that  the 
writer,  as  soon  as  he  heard  the  firing,  must  get  his  regiment  ready  to  move.  At  early  dawn  two  of  the 
detachments  met.  Townsend's  3d  and  Bendix's  7th  New  York  Volunteers  fired  into  each  other,  and  all 
the  bad  results  anticipated  were  realized.  The  echo  of  this  musketry  had  hardly  died  away  when  Colonel 
Phelps  stood  at  the  entrance  of  the  tent  of  the  writer  and  said,  <  It  is  as  I  thought  it  would  be,  they  are 
firing  into  each  other ;  get  your  regiment  ready,  and  report  as  a  reinforcement  to  General  Peirce.'  The 
account  of  the  affair  of  the  two  Bethels  has  passed  into  history.  This,  however,  is  the  first  time  that  this 
singular  example  of  intuition  on  the  part  of  General  Phelps  has  ever  been  written  for  publication."

classmate,  Private  George  F.  Hodges,1  who  himself  died  later  in  the  ser 
vice,  as  adjutant  of  the  18th  Mass.  Infantry.  Twenty-two  prisoners  were 
taken  from  the  5th  Mass.,  and  were  held  for  ten  months  before  they  could 
be  exchanged.  Of  the  llth,  two  captains,  a  lieutenant  and  many  wounded 
men  were  also  taken  prisoners,  besides  fifteen  killed.  The  1st  Regiment 
took  but  little  part  in  the  battle,  but  lost  Lieut.  E.  B.  Gill,  who  was  killed 
in  the  retreat.  Its  brigade  commander,  Col.  I.  B.  Richardson  of  the  2d 
Michigan,  reported  of  his  brigade  :  "  My  brigade  in  general  behaved  itself 
nobly  and  always  stood  firm."  Col.  (afterwards  major-general)  W.  B. 
Franklin  criticised  the  5th  and  llth  as  firing  badly  and  as  making  their 
movements  somewhat  unsteadily  while  under  fire  ;  but  he  ends  b}^  extend 
ing  these  criticisms  over  the  whole  of  the  raw  troops  on  that  day.  "  The 
firing  of  the  rebels,"  he  says,  "  was  better  than  ours."2 

The  battle  of  Ball's  Bluff  or  Edwards'  Ferry  (Oct.  21,  1861)  was  the 
last  of  the  early  amateur  battles,  as  they  might  be  called,  in  which  the 
Massachusetts  troops  were  engaged  in  1861.  The  commanding  officer, 
Gen.  C.  P.  Stone,  under  whose  orders8  troops  were  sent  across  a  rapid 
stream  and  exposed  to  a  greater  force,  without  intrenchments  and  with  the 
stream  behind  them,  was  a  Massachusetts  man  and  a  regular  army  officer. 
So  was  Gen.  Frederick  W.  Lander,  who  fell  in  the  battle,  and  was  the  first 
of  her  general  officers  to  die  in  the  service,  — as  he  had  also  been  the  first 
of  all  men,  it  was  claimed,  to  offer  his  services  to  the  general  government.4 

The  15th  Mass.  Infantry  (Colonel  Devens)  and  the  20th  (Col.  W.  R. 
Lee)  were  (with  the  71st  Pennsylvania)  the  regiments  chiefly  engaged, 
the  two  companies  of  the  19th  not  being  in  action.  Placed  in  a  hopeless 
position,  and  hopelessly  outnumbered,  they  did  as  well,  doubtless,  as  any 
raw  troops  could  have  done ;  and  when  they  retreated  at  last,  every  man 
for  himself,  across  a  river  which,  as  the  writer  heard  Colonel  Devens  say

3  "  My  telegram  did  not  contemplate  the  making  an  attack  upon  the  enemy  or  the  crossing  of  the  river 
in  force  by  any  portion  of  General  Stone's  command."     (Report  of  General  G.  B.  McClellan,  Official  War 
Records,  V,  290.)     It  is  probable,  on  the  other  hand,  that  General  Stone  believed  himself  to  be  carrying 
out  General  McClellan's  intentions,  nor  did  he  ever  forfeit  that  general's  confidence.    Compare  McClellan's 
Own  Story  (p.  187)  and  Battles  and  Leaders  of  the  Civil  War  (Century  War  Book),  II,  131.    It  is  now 
generally  admitted  that  General  Baker's  inexperience  was  largely  to  blame  for  the  defeat.    Good  descrip

FILLING  UP  THE  REGIMENTS.  35 

afterwards,  "literally  boiled  with  bullets,"  they  had  the  glory  of  a  severe 
engagement,  if  not  of  victory,  about  half  of  each  regiment  being  killed, 
wounded  or  missing.1 

Col.  W.  E.  Lee  of  the  20th  was  captured,  with  the  major  and  surgeon, 
four  captains  (three  wounded),  the  adjutant  and  two  other  lieutenants. 
The  major  and  surgeon  were  both  grandsons  of  the  revolutionary  hero, 
Paul  Kevere.2  A  captain  and  two  lieutenants  of  the  20th  were  killed,  one 
of  the  latter  being  young  William  Lowell  Putnam,  whose  great  grand 
father,  Judge  Lowell,  inserted  the  anti-slavery  clause  in  the  Bill  of  Rights 
of  Massachusetts.  Putnam,  when  the  surgeon  came  to  dress  his  wound  in 
the  hospital,  said,  "Go  to  some  one  else;  you  cannot  save  me."  The 
boy-lieutenant  of  the  15th,  John  William  Grout  of  Worcester,  barely 
eighteen  and  fresh  from  a  military  school,  took  a  load  of  wounded  across 
the  stream,  under  fire,  returned  for  another,  sent  it  off  while  he  remained, 
then  went  to  his  colonel  and  asked,  "  Is  there  anything  more  that  I 
can  do  ? "  and,  on  being  told  that  there  was  nothing,  swam  the  stream 
himself  and  was  shot  and  killed  when  half-way  across.  Dr.  Haven  of 
the  same  regiment  and  Dr.  Hay  ward  of  the  20th  decided,  as  the  former 
wrote  afterwards,  "to  remain  and  be  taken,  and  get  off  what  men  we 
could."3  Capt.  Moses  W.  Gatchell  (15th  Mass.)  was  also  killed. 

Major-General  Stone,  in  his  official  report,  pays  the  highest  tribute  to 
the  behavior  of  Colonel  Devens  and  his  command,  as  "exhibiting  every 
proof  of  high  courage  and  good  discipline,"  and  attributes  the  entire 
calamity  to  the  fact  that  the  cavalry  scouts,  upon  whom  Devens  had  relied 
to  give  him  information  as  to  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  had  been 
withdrawn  without  his  knowledge.4 

X.       FILLING   UP    THE    REGIMENTS. 

After  the  battle  of  Ball's  Bluff,  the  mayor  of  Worcester  sent  a  mes 
senger  to  enquire  of  Colonel  Devens  what  the  city  could  do  for  the  15th 
Mass.,  which  had  been  recruited  there.  The  answer  was  :  "  Send  us  three 
hundred  and  ten  men  to  fill  our  gaps ;  also  a  blanket  and  a  pair  of  mittens

36  NARRATIVE. 


for  each  of  us.  That  will  do  for  the  present."1  Doubtless  the  clothing 
was  supplied,  but  the  need  of  recruits  for  any  particular  regiment  brought 
up  some  new  problems  not  quite  so  easy  to  solve. 

There  is  no  subject  on  which  criticism  has  been  more  constant  than  on 
the  mistaken  policy  pursued  in  some  of  the  States,  and  especially  in  Massa 
chusetts,  in  respect  to  recruiting.  Mr.  J.  C.  Ropes,  who  is  undoubtedly 
our  ablest  military  critic,  thinks  that  the  greater  part  of  the  Northern  States 
"  blindly  and  recklessly  threw  away"  the  "  army's  capital,"  as  he  calls  it, 
of  long  service  and  experience,  by  forming  new  regiments  instead  of  filling 
up  the  old  ones.  "It  is  difficult  to  speak  with  patience,"  he  says,  "  of 
this  wretched  business."  In  this  respect  he  thinks  that  "  the  Federal  army 
of  the  West,"  under  Sherman,  had  immensely  the  advantage,  through  "the 
wiser  and  more  military  policy  which  the  Western  States  generally  adopted 
in  the  matter  of  recruiting  their  contingents."2  "The  Union  army,"  says 
an  able  Massachusetts  colonel,  "was  probably  the  only  army  in  modern 
civilized  warfare  which  as  a  rule  was  recruited  by  the  addition  of  new 
regiments  instead  of  by  filling  up  the  old  organizations."3 

So  the  Cornte  de  Paris  says :  "In  order  to  procure  a  rapid  supply  of 
men  it  was  necessary  constantly  to  create  new  regiments.  These  regiments 
brought  with  them  all  the  inexperience  which  had  cost  so  dear  to  their 
predecessors,  without  deriving  any  profit  from  the  experience  acquired  by 
the  latter."4 

Granting  all  that  is  said  by  these  critics,  there  is  a  point  which  they 
rarely  recognize,  namely,  that  this  mode  of  procedure  was  not  mainly  matter 
of  choice  but  of  necessity.  There  were  occasions  when  the  army  must  be 
filled  up  in  this  way  or  not  at  all.  Brevet  Brigadier-General  Walcott  him 
self,  who  Avas  for  a  time  Governor  Andrew's  military  secretary,  describes 
vividly  a  scene  between  the  governor  and  a  local  selectman,  who  in  1864 
offered  a  company  from  his  town  for  a  new  regiment  if  the  officers  called  for 
by  the  men  could  be  commissioned.  The  governor  vehemently  opposed 
this,  but  was  met  by  the  selectman  with  the  simple  statement  that  not  a  man 
could  be  raised  in  his  town  for  an  old  regiment.  "  Since  new  regiments 
were  better  than  none,  and  quotas  must  be  filled,  Governor  Andrew  had  to

yield  ;  and  wound  up  with  this  vehement  commentary,  '  Julius  Cresar  himself 
couldn't  raise  a  company  for  an  old  regiment  in  Massachusetts,  as  long  as 
there  is  a  shoemaker  left  to  make  a  captain  of.'"1 

This  sufficiently  refutes  the  claim  sometimes  made  that  this  substitution 
of  new  regiments  for  old  was  Governor  Andrew's  own  policy,2  but  it  leaves 
the  question  still  open  why  this  policy  was  necessary  in  Massachusetts  and 
not  in  Vermont  or  in  the  Western  States.  As  regards  Vermont,  the  case  is 
very  simple.  It  was  the  only  Northern  State  in  which  the  State  regiments 
were  regularly  brigaded  together,  so  that  the  local  esprit  de  corps  was  thus 
retained.  The  officers  of  the  brigade  were  well  known,  the  State  was  a 
small  one,  and  every  recruit  felt  that  he  should  in  any  case  be  practically 
among  his  neighbors.  It  was  this  very  strength  of  local  feeling  which  made 
the  demand  for  new  regiments  in  Massachusetts.  As  to  the  West,  a  vivid 
sense  of  the  difference  in  this  respect  between  an  older  State  and  a  newer 
one  will  be  found  by  simply  comparing  the  published  rosters  and  noting 
a  single  point.  Every  catalogue  of  Massachusetts  soldiers  designates  the 
town  where  each  one  lived,  while  in  corresponding  catalogues  of  Western 
soldiers,  as  of  those  from  Minnesota,  for  instance,  not  a  town  is  mentioned, 
—  every  man  belonged  to  the  State  only.  It  is  perhaps  the  price  that 
Massachusetts  pays  for  that  township  system  which  Jefferson  thought  so 
powerful.  If  a  Minnesota  man  wished  to  go  to  the  war,  he  went ;  if  it  were 
among  strangers,  no  matter ;  he  had  spent  his  life  among  strangers,  or  at 
least  among  recent  acquaintances.  Even  in  Minnesota  it  was  easier  to 
create  new  regiments  than  to  fill  up  old  ones.  "To  fill  the  existing  regi 
ments  required  only  individual  enlistments  ;  but  they  had  ceased  to  be  spon 
taneous,  as  they  had  been  in  the  beginning,  and  it  was  much  easier  to  raise 
a  new  regiment,  with  the  aid  of  those  who  expected  to  be  commissioned  in  it, 
than  to  enlist  the  same  number  of  men  for  regiments  already  at  the  front."3 

1  Walcott's  21st  Mass.,  p.  222.    The  officer  who  wrote  that  book  resigned  from  his  command  in  April, 
1863,  because  his  company,  with  a  captain,  two  lieutenants  and  a  full  list  of  non-commissioned  officers, 
had  but  six  privates  present  for  duty  (p.  269) .    He  was  afterwards  commissioned  as  colonel  of  the  60th 
Mass. 

2  "It  was  the  policy  of  Governor  Andrew  to  keep  the  regiments  in  the  service  full,  rather  than  to 
organize  new  regiments  while  the  old  regiments  were  wanting  men.    In  pursuance  of  this  policy,  seven 
thousand  men  were  enlisted  during  the  year  1862,  assigned  to  regiments  in  the  field  and  forwarded  to  their 
several  destinations."     (Schouler's  Massachusetts  in  the  Civil  "War,  I,  336.)     "  Generals  Halleck,  Burn- 
side,  Reno,   Parke,  Cullom  and  Sedgwick  have  all  made  most  earnest  inquiries  concerning  the  suc 
cess  of  the  recruiting  in  Massachusetts,  and  expressed  the  greatest  satisfaction  at  your  determination  to  fill 
up  the  old  regiments  first."     (Letter  of  Col.  Harrison  Ritchie  to  Governor  Andrew  from  Harrison's  Bar, 
James  River,  Va.,  July  28,  1862.)     (Schouler,  I,  308.)

And  much  more  the  Massachusetts  man  with  two  hundred  years  of  tradition 
behind  him  wished  to  go  with  his  neighbors,  to  be  commanded  by  men 
whom  he  knew,  —  by  a  local  shoemaker  rather  than  by  Julius  Caesar. 

It  is  to  be  noticed  that  much  the  same  conditions  of  local  organization 
are  carefully  preserved  in  the  model  army  of  the  world,  that  of  Germany. 
General  Sheridan  tells  us  that  "  a  local  or  territorial  system  of  recruiting" 
is  "  the  very  foundation  of  the  German  army." l 

Joined  with  this,  there  were  no  doubt  minor  considerations.  In  enter 
ing  a  new  regiment  a  man  took  his  chance  with  the  rest  for  speedy  promo 
tion  ;  in  an  old  regiment  he  took  his  place  at  the  foot,  and  could  count 
pretty  surely  on  remaining  forever  in  the  ranks.  The  natural  American 
instinct  of  rising  was  in  the  way  of  this  self-sacrifice.  Again,  by  an  impulse 
possibly  natural  but  most  ungracious,  the  new  recruit  in  an  old  regiment 
was  apt  to  be  received  not  kindly  or  even  gratefully,  as  one  who  brought 
aid  to  the  whole,  but  with  a  foolish  contempt  and  derision,  amounting  to 
actual  severity  and  hardship. 

"The  lot  of  the  recruit  in  an  old  company  was  at  the  best  not  an 
enviable  one,  and  sometimes  was  made  very  disagreeable  to  him.  He  stood 
in  much  the  same  relation  to  the  veterans  of  his  company  that  the  freshman 
in  college  does  to  the  sophomores,  or  did  when  hazing  was  the  rule  and  not 
the  exception.  .  .  .  He  easily  became  the  butt  of  his  company.  .  .  .  Many 
of  the  veterans  seemed  to  forget  how  they  themselves  obtained  their  edu 
cation,  little  by  little,  and  so  ofttimes  bore  down  upon  recruits  with  great 
severity."2 

After  July  21,  1862,  when  an  order  was  obtained  from  the  Secretary  of 
War,  promising  that  new  recruits  assigned  to  any  regiment  should  be 
mustered  out  with  the  regiment,  it  became  much  easier  to  secure  recruits  for 
old  regiments.  "  Most  of  our  regiments  in  the  field  had  two  years  yet  to 
serve,  and  there  was  a  general  belief  that  before  the  expiration  of  the  regi 
ments'  terms  the  war  would  be  at  an  end.  The  effect  of  the  order  was  to 
send  nearly  five  thousand  men  to  fill  up  the  depleted  ranks."  3

ments  in  the  Confederate  service  were  more  generally  rilled  up.    See  De  Leon,  Four  Years  in  Rebel

FILLING  UP  THE  REGIMENTS.  39 

Another  problem  early  presented  to  Governor  Andrew  was  that  of  pro 
motion  from  the  ranks.  It  seems  now  incredible  that  this  should  ever  have 
presented  itself  as  a  problem,  or  that  there  should  have  been  any  hesitation 
in  such  promotions ;  but  those  who  recall  that  period  will  well  remember  to 
have  heard  the  view  expressed  that  the  English  army,  not  the  French, 
should  be  in  this  respect  our  model,  and  that  a  little  antecedent  superiority 
of  social  position  was  essential,  at  least  in  the  city  regiments.  After  the 
fearful  losses  in  battle  of  one  of  the  best  Massachusetts  regiments,  General 
(then  colonel)  Devens  said  to  its  commander,  "  Colonel,  the  sooner  you  get 
this  blue-blood  notion  out  of  your  head  the  better  for  yourself  and  your 
regiment."1  Many  letters  were  received  in  Boston  from  sergeants  in 
various  regiments,  complaining  of  the  appointment  over  their  heads  —  or  the 
threatened  appointment  —  of  inexperienced  civilians  ; 2  and  it  was  fortunate 
that  the  strongly  democratic  spirit  of  Governor  Andrew  settled  so  promptly 
the  policy  of  the  State  for  all  but  the  colored  regiments,  where  the 
reluctance  of  the  general  government  itself  limited  the  promotions  to  a  very 
few.3  As  a  matter  of  fact,  during  1861  and  1862  there  were  four  hundred 
and  sixty-three  second  lieutenants  taken  from  enlisted  men  to  supply 
vacancies  in  regiments,  while  the  officers  taken  from  civil  life  for  that  pur 
pose  were  four  captains,  nine  first  lieutenants  and  thirty-five  second  lieuten 
ants.  It  is  claimed  by  Adjutant-General  Schouler  that  "in  a  majority  of 
these  cases  the  appointments  have  been  made  at  the  earnest  request  of  the 
field  officers  of  the  regiments  in  which  they  were  commissioned,  and  in  all 
cases  for  the  good  of  the  service."4  It  is  possible  that  this  last  assertion 
may  have  been  premature ;  the  principle  was  a  bad  one,  and  the  practice 
soon  disappeared  almost  wholly  except  among  the  colored  regiments.5 

1  General  Devens  himself  narrated  this  to  the  writer. 

2  See  Putnam's- Co.  A,  25th  Mass.  (pp.  126,  127),  for  illustrations  of  this. 

3  Chaplain  Harrison  of  the  54th  was  the  first  Massachusetts  officer  so  commissioned  (Sept.  8,  1863) ; 
but  he  was  not  allowed  the  privileges  of  an  officer  on  the  United  States  transport  which  took  him  South 
until  another  Massachusetts  officer  had  offered  to  surrender  to  him  his  state-room,  for  the  sake  of  estab 
lishing  the  principle. 

*  Adjutant-General's  report,  January,  1863,  p.  463. 

5  That  the  objection  to  promotion  was  more  than  a  matter  of  personal  preference  was  seen  in  one  of  the 
most  noted  Boston  regiments  in  the  case  of  one  first  sergeant,  a  young  man  of  fine  appearance,  of  the 
highest  character,  a  college  graduate  and  the  son  of  a  clergyman,  whose  promotion  was  resisted  by  some 
of  his  superior  officers  on  the  express  ground  that,  although  he  was  an  excellent  first  sergeant,  yet  a  man 
once  in  the  ranks  should  remain  there.  He  afterwards  rose  by  successive  appointments  to  be  captain  in 
his  own  regiment.  The  writer  has  reason  to  think  that  this  was  one  of  the  cases  which  led  Governor 
Andrew  to  the  strong  attitude  he  took  upon  the  subject  in  his  letter  of  Nov.  1,  1861  (Adjutant-General's 
report,  January,  1862,  p.  72).

NARRATIVE. 


Over  brevet  appointments  Governor  Andrew  had  of  course  no  control, 
though  he  sometimes  gave  suggestions.  These  brevets  were  showered  from 
the  beginning  of  the  war  until  long  after  its  close,  with  a  profusion  that 
became  an  undoubted  evil,  and,  being  often  the  result  of  personal  solicita 
tion  or  lobbying,  had  much  to  do  with  that  constant  presence  of  military 
officers  in  Washington,  which  afforded  much  amusement  to  foreign  visitors. 
There  were  of  course  many  instances  where  brevets  were  the  direct  recogni 
tion  of  brave  deeds,  but  there  was  a  large  number  of  cases  where  they  came 
simply  from  political  influence  and  sometimes  from  the  direct  neglect  of 
duty,  as  evidenced  by  men's  hanging  round  the  Capitol  at  Washington 
instead  of  being  at  their  places  in  the  field.1 

XI.       THE    NAVAL    SERVICE. 

Massachusetts,  being  a  seaside  State  and  long  the  nursery  of  the  merchant 
service,  was  naturally  among  the  leading  States  for  the  supply  of  seamen. 
At  the  outset  of  the  war  the  legal  maximum  of  the  navy  w^as  7,600 
men.  Of  these  there  were  on  March  10,  1861,  only  207  in  all  the  ports 
and  receiving  ships  on  the  Atlantic  coast.2  In  July,  1863,  there  were 
34,000  men  in  the  service,  and  when  the  war  ended,  51,500.  In  the  last 
months  of  the  war  a  bounty  of  $1,010  was  sometimes  paid  for  a  single 
seaman.3  The  official  statistics  sho\v  that  of  this  vast  addition  to  the 
numbers  of  the  navy  Massachusetts  contributed  a  larger  share  than  any 
State  except  New  York ;  indeed,  nearly  20,000,  or  nearly  one-fifth  of  the 
whole  number.4

the  U.  S.  Army,  p.  890.)  Phisterer,  an  able  statistician,  claims,  in  his  New  York  in  the  Civil  War  (p.  43), 
that  the  whole  number  serving  in  the  U.  S.  Navy  during  the  war  was  132,554,  of  which  New  York 
furnished  50,936.  He  attempts  no  list  of  officers  in  the  volunteer  navy. 


THE  NAVAL  SERVICE  41 


A  body  of  volunteer  naval  officers  had  also  to  be  created,  and  of  these 
at  least  1,757  out  of  7,500  were  furnished  by  Massachusetts,  and  especially 
for  the  Atlantic  Ocean  service,  those  employed  on  the  Mississippi  being 
mostly  steamboat  men  and  pilots.  The  regular  officers  formed  about  one- 
seventh  of  the  whole  number  employed.1 

In  addition,  Massachusetts  furnished,  in  connection  with  the  expedition 
for  the  relief  of  Fort  Sumter,  the  man  who  was  destined  above  all  men  to 
bring  order  out  of  chaos  and  organize  our  early  navy.  This  was  Capt. 
Gustavus  Vasa  Fox,  assistant  secretary  of  the  navy.  He  had  spent  eighteen 
years  of  his  life  in  the  navy,  but  had  resigned  five  years  before  the  war,  and 
had  engaged  in  business.  Nominally  an  assistant  secretary,  he  was  prac 
tically,  as  has  been  said  by  others,  a  chief  of  staif,  and  the  rapidity  with 
which  our  young  navy  was  organized  was  largely  due  to  his  efforts.  Com 
mander  (afterwards  admiral)  Charles  Henry  Davis,  another  Massachusetts 
man,  before  best  known  as  the  captor,  in  1857,  of  William  Walker  the  fili 
buster,  also  worked  most  efficiently,  under  the  direction  of  the  navy  depart 
ment,  in  boards  to  report  on  iron-clads  and  also  on  the  enemy's  coast.  In 
that  momentous  early  success  of  the  war,  the  capture  of  Port  Royal  (Nov. 
7,  1861),  he  was  fleet  captain,  and  his  promptness  in  surveying  immedi 
ately  the  channel  for  the  larger  vessels  had  much  to  do  with  the  ultimate 
success.  Flag-Officer  Dupont  says:  "By  the  skill  of  Commander  Davis, 
the  fleet  captain,  and  Mr.  Boutelle,  the  able  assistant  of  the  coast  survey, 
in  charge  of  the  steamer  Vixen,  the  channel  was  immediately  found, 
sounded  out  and  buoyed."2  The  admirable  plan  of  the  attack  is  also 
understood  to  have  been  due  largely  to  him. 

He  was  in  charge  of  a  project  which  finally  proved  rather  abortive,  of 
sinking  what  was  called  "a  stone  fleet"  in  the  main  ship  channel  of 
Charleston  harbor  (Dec.  20,  1861),  and  afterwards  in  Sullivan's  Island 
channel.  The  project  occasioned  much  discussion  and  denunciation,  both 
here  and  in  Europe,  although  the  Confederates  had  not  hesitated  to  obstruct 
channels  wherever  they  found  it  desirable.3  In  this  case  it  is  doubtful 
whether  any  positive  result  followed,  a  better  channel  being  at  once  formed 
south-east  of  Lighthouse  Inlet.  So  far  as  the  wooden  obstructions  were

concerned,  the  teredo  or  ship- worm  soon  disposed  of  them.  All  this  must 
have  been  foreseen  by  so  able  an  officer  as  Commander  Davis,  and  it  seems 
probable  that  the  whole  enterprise  was  mainly  designed  for  intimidation. 

As  flag-officer,  Commander  Davis  succeeded  Commodore  Foote  in  com 
mand  of  the  newly  improvised  flotilla  on  the  Mississippi  River,  this  consist 
ing  partly  of  army  rams  devised  and  commanded  by  Colonel  Ellet,  and 
placed  under  the  temporary  command  of  the  flag-officer.  Commodore  Foote 
had  relinquished  command,  because  of  wounds,  on  May  9,  1861.  The  first 
naval  engagement  of  the  war,  in  the  sense  of  a  squadron  fight,  thus  took 
place  under  a  Massachusetts  officer.  It  occurred  before  Fort  Pillow,  on 
May  10,  and  resulted  in  a  partial  victory  for  the  Union  flotilla,  the  Confed 
erate  rams  having,  however,  done  great  damage,  and  the  Union  rams  being 
not  yet  employed.  Later,  Fort  Pillow  was  bombarded  by  Davis  up  to  June 
4,  when  it  was  abandoned,  leaving  forty  heavy  guns  and  much  military 
material.  On  June  6  Davis  commanded  in  a  second  fight  with  the  Confed 
erate  flotilla,  he  being  now  fully  reinforced  by  Colonel  Ellet  and  his  rams. 
The  eight  Confederate  boats  had  from  two  to  four  guns  each,  and  the  five 
Union  boats  from  thirteen  to  eighteen  guns  each.1  An  hour's  fight  decided 
the  fate  of  Memphis,  which  was  surrendered  to  Davis  without  delay.  His 
summons  for  its  surrender  is  a  document  which  ought,  it  has  been  said,  to 
find  a  place  in  every  future  "  polite  letter  writer."  It  runs  thus  :  "  Sir,  I 
have  the  honor  to  request  that  you  will  surrender.  I  am,  Mr.  Mayor,  with 
high  respect,  your  obedient  servant." 

The  prophecy  of  Captain  Montgomery,  commanding  the  Confederate 
"river  defence  fleet,"  that  "the  enemy  .  .  .  will  never  penetrate  farther 
down  the  Mississippi  River,"2  was  not  fulfilled.  Davis  descended  the  river, 
and  on  July  1  joined  Farragut's  fleet  from  New  Orleans.  On  October  15 
following  he  was  relieved  from  command  of  the  flotilla  on  arrival  of  Com 
mander  (afterwards  admiral)  Porter,  who  thus  testifies  to  his  services: 
"For  the  second  time  (/.  e.,  at  Memphis)  Rear-Admiral  Davis  won  a  strictly 
naval  victory,  and  won  it  without  a  single  mistake.  .  .  .  Take  the  battle, 
together  with  its  results,  it  was  one  of  the  handsomest  achievements  of  the 
war,  but  it  did  not  receive  that  general  notice  which  it  deserved.  ...  If

whom  he  approved  of,  ever  congratulated  Rear-Admiral  Davis  and  his 
officers  for  their  brilliant  success,  it  nowhere  appears  in  the  secretary's 
report  for  1862.  But  history  will  eventually  give  the  credit  to  the  brave 
men  who  served  their  country  faithfully  at  the  time  of  her  greatest  need."1 

The  plan  of  the  light-draught  Mississippi  gunboats,  called  "  tin-clads," 
from  their  armor,  originated  with  Davis,  and  proved  a  device  of  great  value.2 
They  were  stern- wheel  steamers,  carrying  iron  plating  from  one-half  to 
three-quarters  inch  thick,  covering  them  to  a  height  of  eleven  feet,  making 
them  proof  against  musketry  and  light  field  artillery ;  they  could  carry,  if 
needful,  two  hundred  men,  and  had  six  or  eight  twenty-four-pound  brass 
howitzers  ;  their  draught  ranged  from  eighteen  inches  to  three  feet,  and  they 
were  of  the  greatest  use  for  raids  and  skirmishing,  as  subsidiary  to  larger 
vessels. 

In  the  naval  battle  of  March  8,  1862,  in  which  for  the  first  and  last  time 
the  comparative  strength  of  wooden  and  iron  ships  was  tested,  a  prominent 
and  most  honorable,  though  most  disastrous,  part  was  taken  by  Massa 
chusetts  officers.  The  Roanoke,  a  fifty-gun  steamer,  whose  machinery  was, 
however,  in  a  disabled  condition,  was  commanded  by  Capt.  John  Marston, 
a  Massachusetts  man,  and  the  Cumberland,  a  sloop  of  war  of  twenty-four 
guns,  in  the  absence  of  the  captain  by  Lieut.  George  W.  Morris,  aided  by 
Lieut,  (now  admiral)  Thomas  O.  Selfridge,  Jr.,  both  from  this  State,  as 
were  Acting  Masters  Randall  andKennison.  The  Cumberland,  having  been 
both  rammed  and  fired  into,  sank  with  her  flag  still  flying,  carrying  down 
with  her  more  than  one  hundred  men  ; 3  and  her  guns  were  fired  to  the  last, 
the  final  shot,  discharged  by  Lieutenant  Morris,  fatally  wounding  the  Con 
federate  Commander,  Captain  Buchanan.  The  final  triumph  of  the  Monitor 
need  not  be  described. 

In  September,  1862,  Acting  Master  Crocker,  a  Massachusetts  officer,  was 
sent  up  the  Sabine  River  to  destroy  a  railroad  bridge,  which  he  did  without 
injury.4 

Commander  Downes,  a  Massachusetts  officer,  commanded  the  monitor 
Nahant  in  the  attack  on  Fort  McAllister,  March  3,  1863,  and  in  the  attack 
on  Charleston,  April  7;  the  Nahant  being  in  this  last  attack  "seriously

damaged ;  her  turret  so  jammed  as  to  prevent  its  turning,  many  of  the  bolts 
of  both  turret  and  pilot-house  broken,  and  the  latter  rendered  nearly  unten 
able  by  flying  bolts  and  nuts."1  His  vessel  assisted,  as  a  reserve,  in  the 
capture  of  the  Atlanta  in  Wassaw  Sound,  on  June  17,  and  assisted  in  cover 
ing  General  Gillmore's  batteries  on  Folly  Island,  July  10,  an  engagement  in 
which  the  Nahant  was  hit  six  times.  He  joined  with  the  other  commanders 
of  iron-clads  in  a  letter  in  May,  vindicating  the  cause  of  Admiral  Dahlgren 
in  declining  to  attack  Charleston  harbor  with  the  monitors.2 

o 

A  Massachusetts  officer,  Capt.  (afterwards  admiral)  John  A.  Winslow, 
commanded  the  Kearsarge  when  it  finally  destroyed  the  Alabama,  and  put 
an  end  to  its  destructive  career  on  June  19,  1863.  His  brief  and  modest 
despatch  to  the  War  Department  on  this  occasion  is  one  of  the  classics 
of  the  Civil  War,  and  is  in  curious  contrast  with  the  burst  of  enthu 
siasm  which  hailed  his  victory.  "There  was  no  occurrence  during  the 
war,"  says  Admiral  Porter,  "more  grateful  to  the  Northern  people.  .  .  . 
Winslow  became  the  hero  of  the  hour,  for  he  had  not  only  disposed  of  a 
most  troublesome  enemy,  but  he  had  demonstrated  the  superiority  of  a 
United  States  ship,  crew  and  guns  over  an  English  built,  English  armed 
and  English  manned  vessel  of  equal  if  not  superior  force."3 

In  the  attack  on  Fort  Pulaski,  and  again  in  that  on  Charleston,  Ensign 
M.  L.  Johnson  was  commended  in  orders.  In  the  latter  attack  Lieut. -Com. 
W.  D.  Whiting  commanded  the  gunboat  Ottawa.  Acting  Master's  Mate 
E.  Boomer  commanded  the  Granite  in  the  Burnside  expedition  against 
Koanoke  Island,  Acting  Master  Peter  Hayes  the  Morse,  and  Acting  Master's 
Mate  G.  W.  Graves  the  Lockwood.  The  latter  also  took  part  in  the 
reduction  of  New  Berne.  All  these  were  Massachusetts  officers. 

In  the  daring  though  ineffectual  boat  attack  on  Fort  Sumter,  Sept.  8, 
1863,  one  of  the  five  divisions  of  boats  was  commanded  by  Lieut,  (now 
captain)  F.  J.  Higginson.  He  was  ordered  to  move  up  to  the  north-west 
front  of  the  fort,  to  make  a  diversion,  the  other  divisions  being  held  back ; 
but,  mistaking  the  movement,  the  other  boats  dashed  on,  and,  as  it  seemed 
impossible  to  stop  them,  all  were  ordered  to  advance.4  Acting  Master's 
Mate  J.  E.  Jones  of  the  Monticello  accompanied  Lieut.  Wm.  B.  Cushing  in 
one  of  his  daring  expeditions  up  the  Wilmington  Rive.r,  June  23,  1864.  In

the  attack  on  Fort  Fisher  under  General  Terry,  Jan.  15,  1865,  Lieutenant- 
Commander  Selfridge  had  charge  of  one  of  the  three  divisions  of  seamen. 
Assistant  Surgeon  Longshaw  was  killed  in  this  assault.  In  the  naval  attack 
on  Mobile  Station,  March  27,  1865,  Lieut. -Com.  W.  W.  Low  commanded 
the  Octarora.  All  these  were  Massachusetts  officers  by  birth  or  appoint 
ment  ;  but  the  whole  number  of  such  officers  who  did  their  duty  can  be 
found  only  in  the  lists  in  the  second  volume  of  this  work,  and  the  vast 
multitude  of  Massachusetts  sailors  cannot  be  preserved  by  name,  even 
there. 

There  occurred  under  a  Massachusetts  officer,  on  April  11,  1864,  one  of 
the  most  curious  contests  in  war  history,  the  assault  of  twenty-five  hundred 
infantry  upon  a  gunboat  aground.  After  the  repulse  of  Banks  at  Sabine 
Cross  Eoads,  La.,  April  8,  the  naval  fleet  and  transports  had  to  be  with 
drawn,  their  rear  being  brought  up  by  a  light-draught  monitor,  the  Osage, 
commanded  by  Captain  (now  admiral)  Selfridge,  a  Massachusetts  officer. 
The  vessel  grounding  on  a  point,  with  a  transport,  the  Black  Hawk,  made 
fast  to  her,  Selfridge  presently  received  a  report  of  a  large  force  of  troops 
issuing  from  the  woods.  They  were  taken  at  first  for  Union  soldiers,  being 
largely  dressed  in  blue  (captured)  overcoats.  Selfridge  at  once  ordered  the 
crew  of  the  Black  Hawk  on  board  the  monitor ;  and  there  ensued  an  hour's 
fight  of  the  most  curious  description.  Regiment  after  regiment  of  the 
enemy  would  march  up,  deliver  its  fire  and  then  yield  place  to  another.  On 
the  other  hand,  Selfridge  would  load  his  two  eleven-inch  guns  with  canister, 
and  discharge  them  just  as  the  enemy  was  about  to  fire.  This  fire  from  the 
gunboat  was  most  destructive,  but  the  enemy  seemed  to  know  no  fear.  The 
troops  were  Texas  regiments,  commanded  by  General  Green  of  Texas,  who 
was  conspicuous,  mounted  on  a  white  horse,  and  seemed  to  have  the  absolute 
confidence  of  the  men.  Presently  he  fell,  and  soon  after  the  firing  suddenly 
ceased  and  the  troops  retired.  By  this  time  Captain  Selfridge  had  fired 
away  nearly  all  his  ammunition,  and  the  woodwork  of  the  Black  Hawk  was 
so  riddled  with  bullets  that  the  hand  could  not  be  placed  anywhere  without 
covering  a  hole.  The  iron  shield  of  the  pilot  house  of  the  Osage  had  sixty 
marks  upon  it.  No  one,  however,  was  killed  on  the  Union  side,  and  only 
seven  were  wounded,  while  the  Confederate  loss  was  reported  at  seven 
hundred  in  killed  and  wounded,  many  being  left  on  the  field.  Some  of  the 
wounded  were  taken  on  board  the  Osage,  and  reported  that  they  had  been  led

to  believe  that  the  gunboat  could  easily  be  captured,  and  that  l^eir  confi 
dence  in  their  leaders  was  so  great  that  they  would  have  followed  anywhere.1 
In  the  remarkable  naval  battle  of  Mobile  Bay,  Aug.  5,  1864,  which  was 
virtually  a  contest  between  the  Confederate  ram  Tennessee,  claimed  as 
invulnerable,  and  the  monitors,  Admiral  Porter  attributes  the  highest  merit 
of  all  to  a  Massachusetts  officer,  Commander  (now  admiral)  Nicholson  of 
the  Manhattan,  who  alone  pierced  by  his  shot  the  formidable  armor  of  the 
Tennessee.  "The  charge  for  the  fifteen-inch  gun,  as  regulated  by  the 
Bureau  of  Ordnance,  was  only  thirty-five  pounds  of  powder ;  but  Captain 
Nicholson  nearly  doubled  it,  using  sixty-five  pounds,  taking  the  respon 
sibility  of  bursting  the  gun,  but  proving  in  fact  that  it  could  bear  that  charge 
for  a  limited  number  of  rounds.  The  result  was  that  he  pierced  the  armor 
of  the  ram  and  dispelled  the  illusion  of  Buchanan  and  his  men,  — that  their 
ram  was  invulnerable."2 

XII.       OPERATIONS    IN   NORTH    CAROLINA. 

The  expedition  to  North  Carolina  under  General  Burnside  was  one  of 
the  most  important  events  in  the  early  part  of  the  war,  as  it  afforded  a 
valuable  test  of  the  new  levies ;  and  its  immediate  success  was  striking, 
although  it  led  to  no  such  great  final  results  as  had  been  looked  for.  His 
force,  which  embarked  at  Annapolis  on  Jan.  5,  1862,  included  five  Massa 
chusetts  regiments ;  the  21st  (Lieutenant-Colonel  Maggi),  brigaded  under 
General  Reno,  and  the  following,  brigaded  under  General  Foster :  the 
23d  (Colonel  Kurtz),  the  24th  or  New  England  Guards  Regiment  (Col.  T. 
G.  Stevenson),  the  25th  (Colonel  Upton)  and  the  27th  (Col.  H.  C.  Lee). 
The  expedition,  including  about  twelve  thousand  men  in  all,3  encountered 
severe  storms,  arrived  at  Hatteras  Inlet  January  14,  and  met  with  great 
difficulty  in  crossing  the  bar,  so  that  it  was  reported  in  Boston  as  lost.  After 
landing  at  Roanoke  Island  on  February  7,  an  advance  was  made  early  on 
February  8,  the  25th  Mass,  being  placed  in  the  front,  with  Co.  A,  Capt. 
(afterwards  general)  Josiah  Pickett  in  command,  and  preceding  as  skirmish-

most  of  the  real  injuries  she  [the  Tennessee]  has  sustained."

ers,  supported  by  Co.  E  (Capt.  Thomas  O'Neil).1  All  the  regiments  took 
part  in  the  battle  and  sustained  losses  :  the  21st  especially  distinguishing 
itself  by  a  brilliant  charge,  under  the  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Maggi, 
driving  the  Confederates  from  the  fort.  General  Reno  wrote  :  "The  honor 
of  entering  the  fort  is  divided  between  the  21st  Mass,  and  the  51st  New 
York,  but  all  charged  gallantly."  This  early  success  caused  great  enthu 
siasm  at  the  North  and  corresponding  depression  at  the  South.  It  was  the 
first  large  capture  of  Confederates  during  the  war,  including  2,677  prisoners 
besides  6  forts,  40  guns  and  3,000  small  arms.  The  Richmond  Examiner 
said  :  "  The  loss  of  an  entire  army  at  Roanoke  Island  is  certainly  the  most 
fearful  event  of  the  war."  The  same  regiments  were  engaged,  with  heavy 
losses,  at  New  Berne  (March  14).  At  this  battle  Lieut. -Col.  Henry  Mer- 
ritt  of  Salem  (23d  Mass.)  was  killed,  and  Acting  Adjt.  Frazar  A.  Stearns 
(21st  Mass.),  son  of  the  president  of  Amherst  College.  Seventeen  mem 
bers  or  graduates  of  the  college  fell  in  this  battle ;  and  in  recognition  of 
this  a  captured  cannon,  on  which  Colonel  Clark  (himself  an  Amherst  pro 
fessor)  had  mounted  while  cheering  on  his  men,  was  presented  by  the 
regiment  to  the  college.  At  New  Berne  also  fell  in  battle  Lieut.  Joseph  W. 
Lawton  of  the  27th;  and  a  young  man  of  the  rarest  promise,  James  Custis 
Hopkinson,  private  of  the  44th  Mass.,  died  by  disease.  Major-General 
Foster  in  his  report  paid  especial  compliments  to  Col.  John  Kurtz  of  the 
23d  Mass.  Infantry,  Col.  Thomas  G.  Stevenson  of  the  24th,  Col.  Edwin 
Upton  of  the  25th  and  Col.  H.  C.  Lee  of  the  27th,  also  to  Maj.  R.  H. 
Stevenson  of  the  24th  and  Lieut.  William  L.  Horton,  adjutant  of  the  same 
regiment.  Lieutenant-Colonel  Sprague  of  the  25th,  with  a  portion  of  his 
regiment  and  the  regimental  colors,  was  the  first  to  enter  the  city  of  New 
Berne.  Sergt.  John  D.  Terry  of  Co.  E,  23d  Mass.,  received  a  medal  of 
honor,  five  years  later,  for  gallantry  in  action  at  this  battle. 

There  was  also  an  engagement  at  Camden,  N.  C.,  April  19,  in  which 
the  21st  lost  seven  killed ;  one  at  Trenton  Bridge  May  15  without  loss ; 
one  at  Tranter's  Creek  June  5,  in  which  the  24th  had  six  killed  and  six 
wounded,  and  one  at  Washington,  N.  C.,  September  6,  in  which  the  same 
regiment  had  one  killed  and  five  wounded.  There  was  also  an  engagement 
at  Rawles'  Mills,  N.  C.,  November  2,  in  which  the  24th  and  44th  lost  slightly, 

1  S.  H.  Putnam's  Co.  A,  25th  Regiment.    The  skirmishing  was  done,  in  the  opinion  of  Colonel  Upton, 
"  in  a  manner  that  would  have  done  credit  to  regulars."     (Official  War  Records,  IV,  96.)

as  did  the  3d  (Co.  I)  at  Plymouth,  December  10.  With  these  exceptions, 
the  year  was  a  quiet  and  rather  disappointing  one,  and  the  whole  result  of 
the  expedition  was  not  quite  what  had  been  expected.  It  still  remains  a 
question  whether  these  posts,  secured  on  the  sea-coast,  should  or  should  not 
have  been  sources  of  more  aggressive  activity.  Col.  T.  A.  Dodge,  IT.  S.  A., 
a  high  authority,  thinks  that  they  should  have  been  thus  utilized.  ''It 
seems  as  if  they  might  have  annoyed  the  enemy  by  frequent  excursions  on 
a  large  scale  into  the  country,  thus  drawing  the  troops  from  the  front  of 
.  .  .  their  comrades."1  This  was  done  to  some  extent  in  the  Department 
of  the  South,  but  the  defeat  at  Olustee  hardly  vindicated  the  policy.  The 
Confederates  had  always  the  immense  advantage  of  interior  lines,  and  also 
of  keeping  their  numbers  unknown,  while  those  of  the  Union  forces  were 
more  difficult  to  conceal. 

Massachusetts  was  well  represented  by  twelve  regiments  in  the  expedi 
tion  under  General  Foster,  in  December,  1862,  to  Kinston,  Whitehall  and 
Goldsborough,  N.  C.,  although  the  actual  losses  were  not  heavy.  Of  this 
affair,  Col.  Horace  C.  Lee,  commanding  brigade,  says  in  his  report :  "The 
old  regiments  in  my  brigade,  the  25th  and  27th,  sustained  their  previously 
well-earned  reputation.  The  new  regiments,  3d,  5th  and  46th,  did  nobly, 
marching  up  steadily,  and  finely  maintaining  their  line  and  position  without 
flinching."'^  The  only  regiment  which  incurred  any  considerable  loss  at 
Kinston  December  14  was  the  45th,  or  "Cadet"  Regiment  (Col.  C.  R. 
Codman),  and  it  again  distinguished  itself  at  Whitehall.  The  color-bearer, 
Sergt.  Theodore  Parkman,  being  shot  down,  Colonel  Codman  himself  seized 
the  colors,  and  advancing  about  ten  feet  before  the  regiment,  which  was 
then  lying  down,  he  lay  down  beside  the  colors.  It  is  worthy  of  remem 
brance  that  the  corps  of  "  Cadets  "  in  Boston,  whose  number  is  limited  to 
one  hundred  and  ten,  sent  out,  first  and  last,  one  hundred  and  twenty  com 
missioned  officers  to  the  war,  and  had  at  one  time  so  depleted  itself  that 
only  six  active  members  remained  on  its  rolls.  The  23d  and  45th  also 
met  with  some  considerable  loss  at  Whitehall  but  neither  received  any 
at  Goldsborough.  The  17th,  24th,  43d,  44th  and  51st  were  also  in  the 
expedition,  making  in  all  about  half  the  force.

OPERATIONS  IN  NORTH   CAROLINA.  49 

On  Jan.  19,  1863,  five  companies  of  the  51st  Mass.  Infantry  were  in 
action  at  Young's  Cross  Roads,  N.  C.,  but  without  loss.  There  were  en 
gagements  round  New  Berne,  one  at  Deep  Gully  March  14,  1863,  when 
Colonel  Pickett  (25th  Mass.)  held  an  outpost  with  much  risk  but  small 
loss,1  and  another  March  14,  when  Lieut.  Joseph  W.  Lawton  of  Ware 
(27th  Mass.)  and  several  others  were  killed.  In  an  attack  on  Fort  Ander 
son  May  14  Lieut.  N.  S.  Barstow  (24th  Mass.),  acting  signal  officer, 
especially  compliments  his  flagman,  Timothy  S.  Marsh  of  Co.  D,  21st 
Mass.,  for  having  behaved  with  admirable  coolness  under  very  severe  fire ; 
and  the  chief  signal  officer,  Capt.  D.  A.  Taylor  (3d  N.  Y.  Artillery),  says 
in  submitting  the  report  that  Lieutenant  Barstow  is  ' '  far  too  modest  in 
describing  his  own  share  of  .the  work,"  and  proceeds  to  give  ampler  details 
of  its  perils.2  The  Signal  Corps  of  twenty-eight  second  lieutenants,  de 
tailed  largely  from  Massachusetts  regiments,  was  an  important  element  in 
the  North  Carolina  campaign. 

Two  companies  of  the  27th  (G  and  H),  being  left  at  Plymouth,  N.  C., 
on  garrison  duty,  had  an  encounter  at  Winfield  or  Rocky  Hoc  March  23, 
1863,  with  slight  loss.  During  the  siege  of  Washington,  N.  C.,  March  30- 
April  16,  Major-General  Foster  reports  the  27th  and  44th  Mass,  infantries 
as  having  "behaved  nobly,"  though  happily  with  small  loss.  He  also 
complimented  the  45th  for  "the  efficient  and  soldierly  manner "  in  which 
they  had  served  as  provost  guard  at  New  Berne.3 

On  May  22,  1863,  the  27th  Mass,  sustained  some  loss  at  Gum 
Swamp,  where  it  had  marched  fifteen  miles,  in  single  file  through  dense 
woods,  to  surprise  the  enemy;  and  on  the  following  day  Cos.  A  and 
I  of  the  46th  sustained  most  honorably  their  position  at  an  outpost 
under  Colonel  Jones  of  the  58th  Pennsylvania.  After  this  commander 
was  killed  the  two  companies  held  an  advanced  redoubt,  under  Captain 
Tifft,  when  the  rest  of  the  force  had  fallen  back  several  miles ;  but  were 
finally  relieved.  Sergt.  A.  S.  Bryant  of  Co.  A  was  made  sergeant-major 
and  received  a  medal  of  honor,  ten  years  later,  for  "gallantry  in  action" 
at  this  engagement. 

At  Bachelor's  (or  Batchelder's)  Creek,  N.  C.,  during  the  defence  of  New 
Berne,  Feb.  1-3,  1864,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Fellows  of  the  17th  Mass,  was

sent  out  with  one  hundred  and  fifteen  men  and  a  section  of  artillery,  in  aid 
of  a  New  York  regiment,  but  was  surrounded  in  a  fog  and  had  three  of 
his  little  band  killed,  three  wounded,  and  sixty-six  taken  prisoners.  On 
April  17-20  the  2d  Heavy  Artillery  had  a  somewhat  similar  experience  at 
Plymouth,  N.  C.,  a  large  part  of  Cos.  G  and  H  being  taken  prisoners, 
many  of  whom  died  in  prison.  Near  Washington,  N.  C.,  the  17th  was 
again  engaged  in  a  skirmish,  with  a  small  loss.  At  the  end  of  the  year 
(December  9-12)  the  27th  Regiment  took  part  in  an  expedition  to  Hamil 
ton,  N.  C.,  with  slight  loss. 

In  the  following  year  (1865)  a  somewhat  more  serious  affair  occurred 
at  Wilcox's  Bridge,  N.  C.,  March  8-10,  when  the  17th,  23d,  25th  and  27th 
Mass,  infantries  met  with  losses,  as  well  as  the  2d  Heavy  Artillery  (five 
companies,  near  Kinston)  ;  and  the  23d  had  also  an  engagement  near  Kin- 
ston  March  14,  with  a  small  loss ;  but  on  the  whole  the  North  Carolina 
service  proved  less  severe  than  was  at  first  expected,  though  the  loss  from 
disease  was  considerable. 

XIII.       THE    PENINSULAR    CAMPAIGN. 

On  Nov.  27,  1861,  Lieutenant-General  Scott,  being  seventy-five  years 
of  age,  retired  from  the  command  of  the  American  army  and  was  succeeded 
by  Maj.-Gen.  G.  B.  McClellan,  who,  after  some  delay,  submitted  to  the 
President  the  plan  of  a  campaign  against  Richmond.  On  Feb.  27,  1862, 
the  Secretary  of  War  issued  orders  that  steamers  should  be  ready  on 
March  18  to  transport  the  newly  organized  Army  of  the  Potomac  to 
Fortress  Monroe,  and  from  March  17  to  April  1  the  troops  embarked. 
They  included  the  following  Massachusetts  infantry  regiments  :  the  1st 
(Col.  Robert  Cowdin),  the  7th  (Col.  D.  N.  Couch),  the  9th  (Col.  Thomas 
Cass),  the  10th  (Col.  H.  S.  Briggs),  the  llth  (Col.  George  Clark,  Jr.),  the 
15th  (Col.  Charles  Devens,  Jr.),  the  16th  (Col.  P.  T.  Wyman),  the  18th 
(Col.  James  Barnes),  the  19th  (Col.  E.  W.  Hincks),  the  20th  (Col.  W. 
R.  Lee),  and  the  22d  (Col.  J.  A.  Gove).  The  1st  Battery  (Capt.  Josiah 
Porter),  the  3d  (Capt.  A.  P.  Martin),  and  the  5th  (Capt.  G.  D.  Allen) 
were  also  included  in  the  Army  of  the  Potomac. 

The  distribution  of  these  forces  was  as  follows  :  — 


THE  PENINSULAR  CAMPAIGN.  51 

Second  Army  Corps  (Sumner). 

FIRST  DIVISION. — 2d  Brigade,  29th  Mass.  Infantry.  SECOND  DIVISION. 
—  1st  Brigade,  15th  Mass.  3d  Brigade,  19th  and  20th  Mass. 

Third  Army   Corps   (Heintzelman). 
SECOND  DIVISION.  —  1st  Brigade,  1st,  llth  and  16th  Mass. 

Fourth  Army  Corps  (Keyes). 
FIRST  DIVISION.  — 3d  Brigade,  7th  and  10th  Mass. 

Fifth  Army  Corps  (Porter). 

FIRST  DIVISION.  —  1st  Brigade,  18th  and  22d  Mass.  ;  2d  Mass.  Sharp 
shooters.  2d  Brigade,  9th  Mass.  ARTILLERY. — 3d  and  5th  Mass,  bat 
teries. 

Sixth  Army   Corps  (Franklin). 

ARTILLERY.  — 1st  Mass.  Battery. 

The  whole  force  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  was  about  100, 000. l 
The  first  important  event  in  the  peninsular  campaign  was  the  siege  of 
Yorktown.  The  first  assault  was  made,  April  5,  1862,  by  three  companies 
of  the  1st  Mass,  with  two  of  the  llth,  under  command  of  Lieut. -Col. 
George  D.  Wells,  who  was  himself  the  first  man  to  enter  the  lunette, 
after  it  had  been  taken  at  the  point  of  the  bayonet,  without  firing  a  gun. 
In  his  report  he  especially  complimented  Capts.  Edward  A.  Wild,  Sum 
ner  Carruth  and  Charles  E.  Rand,  the  two  former  of  whom  afterwards 
rose  to  be  brigadier-generals.  The  national  flag  was  planted  on  the  works 
by  Col.  Jesse  A.  Gove  of  the  22d  Mass.  This  regiment,  originally  re 
cruited  by  the  Hon.  Henry  Wilson,  afterwards  vice-president  of  the  United 
States,2  at  once  proceeded  to  occupy  and  garrison  the  town. 

In  the  battle  of  Williamsburg,  Va.,  May  5,  1862,  following  on  the 
fall  of  Yorktown,  Maj.-Gen.  Joseph  Hooker,  a  Massachusetts  officer,  was 
in  command,  and  received  at  this  time  his  epithet  of  "Fighting  Joe." 

1  Official  War  Records,  XI  (1),  p.  159. 

2  In  October,  1863,  this  gentleman  said,  "  Twenty-four  companies  are  in  the  field  to-night,  raised  and 
organized  by  my  efforts,  and  more  than  two  hundred  officers  have  entered  the  service  bearing  commissions 
secured  by  my  influence."

Regiments  from  this  State  took  a  leading  part,  including  the  1st,  7th  and 
llth,  besides  the  10th,  which  sustained  no  loss.  The  1st  was  on  the  skir 
mish  line  and  sustained  its  previously  good  character ;  the  7th,  a  Bristol 
County  regiment,  under  command  of  Col.  Nelson  H.  Davis  (succeeding  Col. 
Darius  N.  Couch,  now  promoted  brigadier-general),  was  brought  forward 
most  successfully  at  a  critical  juncture,  and  rendered  much  service  at  small 
loss,  while  the  llth,  a  regiment  known  as  the  "  Boston  Volunteers,"  under 
Colonel  Blaisdell,  was  especially  complimented  by  Governor  Andrew  for  its 
good  conduct,  and  the  regiment  received  a  new  regimental  color.  Michael 
A.  Dillon,  of  the  2d  New  Hampshire  Infantry  (Co.  G. ),  a  native  of  Mas 
sachusetts,  won  a  medal  of  honor  in  this  battle.  Massachusetts  had  a 
right  also  to  share  the  laurels  of  the  70th  New  York,  or  1st  Excelsior  Reg 
iment,  since  this  was  commanded  by  a  Massachusetts  officer  —  Col.  William 
D wight,  Jr.,  one  of  four  brothers  who  distinguished  themselves  in  the 
service — and  included  companies  from  this  State.  After  the  battle  of 
Williamsburg,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Farnum  wrote  to  the  mayor  of  New 
York,  "  under  the  precious  rags  which  were  once  so  proudly  borne  by  the 
1st  Excelsior  Regiment  more  men  have  fallen  in  a  single  fight  than  ever 
fell  under  any  other  flag  in  the  service  of  the  United  States.  The  regi 
ment  went  into  the  field  with  six  hundred  privates  and  twenty-seven  offi 
cers,  and  more  than  half  of  the  privates  were  killed  or  wounded,  as  were 
also  twenty-three  out  of  the  twenty-seven  officers."1 

Brig. -Gen.  Rufus  Saxton,  United  States  Volunteers  (a  Massachusetts 
officer),  commanded  about  this  time  the  defence  of  Harper's  Ferry  (May 
26-30)  in  a  manner  that  subsequently  won  him  a  medal  of  honor.  In 
the  battle  at  Hanover  Court  House  May  27,  the  9th  and  22d  Mass.,  with  a 
section  of  the  3d  Battery,  were  in  action,  the  5th  Battery  being  also  present 
but  not  active.  The  9th  Mass,  distinguished  itself  by  a  charge,  showing  in 
advance  the  qualities  so  signally  tested  later.  The  losses  in  this  engage 
ment  were  not,  however,  heavy. 

The  battle  of  Fair  Oaks  or  Seven  Pines2  (May  31-June  1)  was  the 

1  Townsend's  Honors  of  the  Empire  State,  p.  317.    Phisterer,  in  his  New  York  in  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion,  puts  the  number  of  officers  killed  or  wounded  at  twenty,  and  the  number  of  privates  at  two 
hundred  and  thirteen,  but  reports  also  ninety-seven  privates  as  missing,  thus  confirming  the  original 
statement  (p.  429). 

2  "  That  battle  ought  really  never  to  have  been  fought,  for  it  had  no  purpose,  no  plan  of  action,  no 
,  place  in  any  scheme  of  operations.    It  is  a  question  to  this  day  which  was  the  attacking  party."    (Walker's 

2d  Army  Corps,  p.  51.) 


THE  PENINSULAR  CAMPAIGN.  53 

most  important  in  which  the  Massachusetts  troops  had  yet  taken  part. 
General  Sedgwick's  division,  to  which  the  19th  and  20th  Mass,  belonged, 
drove  the  famous  Hampton  Legion  before  it ;  and  the  20th,  which  had  now 
regained  from  captivity  Colonel  Lee,  Major  Revere  and  Adjutant  Pearson, 
took  an  especially  prominent  part.  The  10th  and  7th  also  charged  the 
enemy,  the  10th  forming  four  successive  times  under  fire  as  regularly  as  if 
on  the  parade  ground.  General  Hooker  said  in  his  report:  "The  10th, 
commanded  by  Col.  Henry  S.  Briggs  of  Pittsfield,  son  of  the  ex-governor, 
displayed  the  greatest  bravery  and  materially  checked  the  progress  of  the 
enemy."  The  loss  of  both  officers  and  soldiers  was  heavy  in  this  battle. 
There  fell  Lieut.  J.  D.  Bullock  of  Fall  River,  of  the  7th;  Lieut.  F.  P.  H. 
Rogers  of  Waltham,  of  the  16th  ;  Lieut.  Charles  B.  Warner  of  South  Dan- 
vers,  of  the  19th;  and  Capts.  Edwin  E.  Day  of  Greenfield  and  EKsha 
Smart  of  Adams,  with  Lieut.  Benjamin  F.  Leland  of  Shelburne,  all  of 
the  10th  Mass. 

The  16th  Mass.  Infantry  was  sent  out  by  General  Hooker  to  feel  the 
strength  of  the  enemy,  under  instructions  from  General  McClellan,  and 
was  engaged  at  Williamsburg,  Va.,  June  18,  with  a  loss  of  twenty-nine 
killed  and  mortally  wounded,  General  Hooker  reporting  that  the  duty 
was  executed  "  in  fine  style  ;  "  and  the  1st,  7th,  llth,  16th  and  19th  were 
engaged  at  Oak  Grove  June  25  with  smaller  losses.1 

At  the  battle  of  Mechanicsville  June  26,  the  9th  and  22d  Mass.,  with 
the  1st  and  3d  batteries,  were  engaged,  meeting  with  only  slight  loss  ;  but 
at  Gaines's  Mill  —  the  first  attack  made  in  force  on  the  Army  of  the  Poto 
mac  (June  27-28)  — these  two  regiments  lost  very  heavily,  more  than  eighty 
being  killed  or  mortally  wounded  from  each,  while  their  supports,  the  10th, 
15th  and  29th,  with  the  1st,  3d  and  5th  batteries,  suffered  more  slightly.  It 
was  at  this  battle  that  the  9th  (Irish)  Regiment,  under  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Guiney,  fulfilled  the  prophecy  made  by  the  Hon.  Edward  Everett  in  regard 
to  this  portion  of  our  people.  "Their  cordial  sympathy  warrants  us  in 
believing  that  if,  on  some  hard-fought  field,  should  the  doubtful  day  be 
about  to  turn  against  us,  the. Irish  brigade  (as  at  Fontenoy)  would  rush  to 
the  rescue  ;  with  the  terrible  war-cry  of  Faugh-a-Ballagh  they  would  sweep 
the  foes  of  the  Union  before  them,  like  chaff  before  the  wind."  On  one

occasion,  having  formed  their  line  upon  Lieutenant-Colonel  Guiney  and  his 
two  standard  bearers,  who  advanced  before  them,  the  commander  calling 
"  Men,  follow  your  colors, "  they  withstood  nine  successive  charges  of  the 
enemy.  Eleven  officers  of  the  9th  fell  in  that  battle,  including  Capts. 
William  Madigan,  James  E.  McCafferty  of  Boston,  John  Carey  of  Marl- 
borough,  Jeremiah  O'Neil  of  Medford,  with  Lieuts.  R.  P.  Nugent  of 
Boston  and  Francis  O'Dowd  of  Medford.  The  22d  lost  its  colonel,  Jesse 
A.  Gove, — the  first  of  the  Massachusetts  colonels  to  fall,  —  with  Capt. 
J.  F.  Dunning  of  Boston  and  Lieut.  T.  F.  Salter  of  Haverhill  of  the  22d 
and  Lieut.  C.  C.  E.  Mortimer  of  the  3d  Battery.1  More  bayonet  wounds 
are  said  to  have  been  inflicted  in  the  battle  of  Gaines's  Mill  than  in  any 
other  contest  of  the  war. 

Gen.  Fitz  John  Porter,  commanding  the  5th  Army  Corps,  wrote  to 
Governor  Andrew,  July  26,  1862  :  "  No  troops  could  have  behaved  better 
than  did  the  9th  and  22d  regiments  and  Martin's  Battery  [the  3d]  and  por 
tions  of  Allen's  [the  5th],  or  done  more  to  add  to  our  success. "'x 

During  the  retreat  of  McClellan  the  Massachusetts  regiments  suffered 
little  at  Peach  Orchard  or  at  Savage's  Station,  but  at  Glendale  (June 
30)  and  Malvern  Hill  (July  1)  they  were  largely  engaged,  with  losses 
extending  through  many  regiments. 

At  the  battle  of  Glendale,  June  30,  which,  in  the  words  of  the  Comte 
de  Paris,  "  was  remarkable  for  its  fierceness  among  all  that  have  drenched 
the  American  forests  with  blood,"  General  Hooker  attributed  the  salvation 
of  the  army  to  the  constancy  and  courage  of  the  16th  Mass.  Infantry, 
under  Col.  Powell  T.  Wyman,  who  had  come  from  Europe  expressly  to 
oifer  his  services  to  Governor  Andrew,  and  fell  at  Glendale,  mortally 
wounded,  at  the  head  of  his  regiment.3  During  the  seven  days'  battles 
the  flagstaff  of  the  16th  was  broken  in  three  places,  and  was  brought  away 
by  Color  Sergeant  Jonas  F.  Capelle,  who  was  subsequently  promoted  to 
be  captain.  But  the  1st,  19th  and  20th  regiments  lost  more  men  at  Glen 
dale  than  the  16th,  Majors  H.  J.  How4  of  the  19th  and  C.  P.  Chandler  of

the  1st  heading  the  list  of  some  twenty  officers  of  that  grade  from  Massa 
chusetts  who  fell  in  the  Civil  War.  General  Sedgwick  writes,  "  The  19th 
Mass.  (Colonel  Hincks)  was  the  first  to  arrive,  and  scarcely  pausing  to 
draw,  gallantly  dashed  at  the  enemy."  Colonel  Sully,  brigade  commander, 
says  that  Lieut. -Col.  J.  W.  Kimball  commanded  his  regiment  (the  15th) 
with  great  coolness  and  bravery.  Gens.  S.  P.  Heintzelman  and  C.  Grover 
especially  compliment  the  1st  and  16th  Mass.  Maj.  D.  S.  Lamson,  com 
manding  the  16th  after  the  death  of  Colonel  Wyman,  compliments  Cos.  C 
and  H.1  General  Walker  says,  "The  20th  Mass,  showed  very  high 
quality  in  the  very  trying  circumstances  under  which  it  went  into  action."5 
Maj.  P.  J.  Revere  (of  the  20th)  had  two  horses  shot  under  him,  and  his 
services  were  especially  recognized  by  General  Sedgwick.  Lieuts.  William 
H.  Sutherland  of  the  1st  and  David  Lee  of  the  19th  also  died  in  this 
battle. 

In  the  battle  of  Malvern  Hill,  July  1,  which  was  mainly  a  defensive 
contest  and  was  fought  with  great  courage  on  both  sides  from  3  to  6  P.M., 
the  greatest  losses  fell  upon  the  9th  Mass.  Infantry  and  next  to  that  upon 
the  15th.  Brigade  after  brigade  of  Confederates  was  sent  forward  upon 
our  line,  but  each  was  resisted  and  decisively  defeated,  the  Union  troops, 
when  driven  back,  sometimes  making  a  counter-charge  and  establishing  a 
new  line  in  advance  of  the  previous  one.  Here  Col.  Thomas  Cass  of  the 
9th  was  mortally  wounded,  and  his  lieutenants,  John  H.  Rafferty  and 
Edward  McS weeny,  were  killed.  General  Devens,  who  was  in  this  battle, 
said  of  Maj.  Ozro  Miller  of  Shelburne  Falls  (10th  Mass.),  who  was  killed 
in  this  fight,  "I  know  of  no  one  among  the  heroic  dead  more  worthy  to  be 
mentioned  by  name  than  Major  Miller."  Linked  with  him  was  the  memory 
of  Lieut.  James  Jackson  Lowell3  (20th  Mass.),  who  fell  at  Malvern  Hill 
and  had  been  previously  wounded  at  Ball's  Bluff,  where  his  cousin,  Lieu 
tenant  Putnam,  had  been  killed.  Brig. -Gen.  I.  N.  Palmer,  commanding 
brigade,  says  in  his  report,  "The  10th  Mass.,  after  several  hours'  hard 
fighting,  reported  their  ammunition  exhausted,  but  they  remained  firmly 
on  the  field  till  after  dark,  and  until  the  enemy  was  everywhere  repulsed." 

Here  ended  the  remarkable  campaign  of  three  months,  in  which  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  had  forced  its  way  to  a  point  where  it  could  see  the

less  experience,  Devens. 

XIV.       THE    DEPARTMENT    OF    THE    GULF. 

When  General  Butler,  on  March  20,  1862,  took  command  of  the  newly 
organized  Department  of  the  Gulf,  he  had  with  him  about  thirteen  thou 
sand  five  hundred  men,  a  considerable  proportion  of  these  being  Massa 
chusetts  soldiers.  His  three  brigades  included  the  30th  Mass.  Infantry 
(Colonel  Dudley),  the  31st  (Colonel  Gooding),  the  2d,  4th  and  6th  Mass, 
batteries  (Captains  Ninas,  Manning2  and  Everett),  Co.  A,  Ind.  Battalion 
Mass.  Cavalry  (Captain  Read),  Co.  B  of  the  same  (Captain  Magee),  and 
Co.  C  of  the  same  (Captain  Durivage).3  Of  these,  the  2d  Mass.  Battery 
was  detained  at  sea  and  did  not  actually  arrive  until  May  21. 

The  expectation  was  that  this  land  force  might  be  employed  to  take  the 
forts  that  commanded  the  river,  should  the  navy  fail  to  reduce  them.  As 
a  matter  of  fact  the  navy  accomplished  it ;  but  Major  Whittemore  of  the 
30th  Mass,  occupied  Fort  St.  Philip  when  surrendered,  while  Captain 
Manning,  with  the  4th  Mass.  Battery,  occupied  Fort  Jackson.  Both  forts 
were  afterward  held  by  the  26th  Mass.  (Colonel  Jones).  On  arrival  at 
New  Orleans,  May  1,  the  31st  Mass.,  with  a  section  of  the  6th  Mass.  Bat 
tery,  were  among  the  troops  that  took  possession  of  the  city. 

The  6th  Mass.  Battery  took  part  in  the  occupation  of  Baton  Rouge,  and 
when  General  Williams  left  that  town  on  June  20,  in  the  unavailing  hope 
of  taking  Vicksburg,  the  30th  Mass,  formed  a  portion  of  the  force,  with 
the  2d  Battery  (Captain  Nims)  and  part  of  the  6th  Battery  (Captain 
Everett)  ;  the  rest  of  this  last  battery  and  C  company  of  cavalry  (2d 
Battalion)  remaining  behind.4 

During  the  passage  of  Vicksburg  by  the  navy,  the  eight  guns  of  the  two

3  Captain  Durivage  was  drowned  April  23,  1862,  and  was  succeeded  by  Captain  Cowen.    These  three 
companies,  at  first  an  independent  battalion,  were  afterwards  consolidated  with  the  41st  Mass.  Infantry 
and  became  the  3d  Mass.  Cavalry  (Colonel  Chickering).

Massachusetts  batteries  were  landed  and  placed  behind  the  levee  at  Bar 
ney's  Point,  and  were  used  to  reply  to  the  heavy  guns  on  the  high  bluff; 
this  being  the  only  part  taken  in  the  affair  by  the  army.  Later,  in  the  con 
test  between  the  Union  gunboats  and  the  formidable  rebel  ram  Arkansas, 
there  were  on  board  the  Carondelet,  when  run  ashore,  twenty  men  of  the 
30th  Mass.,  under  Lieut.  E.  A.  Fiske.  No  casualties  occurred,  but  the 
troops  returned,  July  26,  to  Baton  Rouge,  after  having,  for  more  than  three 
months,  "  undergone  hardships  such  as  have  seldom  fallen  to  the  lot  of  sol 
diers,  in  a  campaign  whose  existence  is  scarcely  known  and  whose  name  is 
well-nigh  forgotten."1 

In  the  battle  of  Baton  Rouge,  Aug.  5,  1862,  the  Massachusetts  troops 
in  the  Department  of  the  Gulf  came  for  the  first  time  under  fire.  The 
attacking  party  comprised  about  three  thousand  men  with  eleven  guns 
under  Breckenridge,  and  the  party  of  defence  about  two  thousand  five 
hundred  men  with  eighteen  guns  under  Williams.  Among  the  Confeder 
ates  were  many  who  had  been  under  fire  at  Shiloh  or  who  had  defended 
Vicksburg,  thus  far  successfully ;  while  Weitzel  said  of  the  Union 
forces  ' i  there  were  not  twelve  hundred  who  could  have  marched  five 
miles.  None  of  our  men  had  been  in  battle  ;  very  few  had  been  under 
fire."2  The  Massachusetts  troops  engaged  were  the  30th  Mass,  on 
the  right  and  rear  in  column,  supporting  Nims's  (2d)  Battery,  under 
Lieutenant  Trull ;  and  on  the  centre  and  left  the  6th  Battery,  under 
Lieutenant  Carruth,  and  the  4th  Battery,  Captain  Manning.  The  battle 
was  short  but  severe,  and  there  seems  to  have  been  confusion,  sometimes 
approaching  panic,  on  both  sides.  The  naval  vessels  also  took  part  on 
both  sides,  and  produced  some  effect  on  the  land  forces.  General  Wil 
liams  was  killed  and  Colonel  Dudley  of  the  30th  Mass,  (a  regular  army 
officer)  took  his  place.  It  was  a  drawn  battle,  but  left  the  Union  forces  in 
such  a  state  that  the  burning  and  evacuation  of  Baton  Rouge  were  after 
wards  ordered  by  General  Butler,  though  the  first  part  of  the  order  was 
countermanded,  through  the  earnest  remonstrance  of  Gen.  H.  E.  Paine  of 
Wisconsin,  to  whom  it  was  intrusted.  Capt.  Eugene  Kelty  of  Lawrence 
(30th  Mass.  Infantry)  was  killed  in  this  engagement. 

It  is  unnecessary  here  to  enter  on  the  vexed  question  of  General  Butler's 
government  of  the  conquered  city  from  May  to  December,   1862.     New

58  NARRATIVE. 


Orleans  itself  was  practically  held  by  the  presence  of  the  navy,  which  had 
captured  it ;  for  the  whole  policy  of  the  Confederates  throughout  the  war 
was  to  abstain  from  all  serious  attempts  to  retake  points  within  reach  of 
the  salt  water,  where  the  navy  held  control,  but  rather  to  let  go  what  was 
lost  and  confine  themselves  to  interior  lines,  where  they  were  strong.  They 
were  willing  to  have  it  understood  that  they  menaced  such  points,  and  New 
Orleans  most  of  all,  but  there  is  no  reason  to  suppose  that  they  had  any 
serious  purpose  of  retaking  it,  any  more  than  of  recapturing  Port  Royal 
or  Fernandina.  It  appears  from  the  Confederate  correspondence  in  Official 
War  Records  that  there  were  from  time  to  time  propositions  of  this  kind 
from  hot-headed  officers,  as  Gens.  John  M.  Huger  and  David  Ruggles, 
but  that  these  were  uniformly  repressed  by  General  Beauregard  on  the 
simple  ground  that  the  gunboats  made  it  absolutely  impossible.  "  So  long 
as  the  enemy  has  command  of  the  river  with  his  gunboats,  the  recovery  of 
New  Orleans  must  depend  upon  our  taking  St.  Louis,  Louisville,  Cincin 
nati,  Washington  and  Baltimore,  which  I  think  could  be  done  before  long 
by  a  proper  combination  of  our  still  latent  forces  and  resources."1  In 
other  words,  five  large  Northern  cities  must  be  taken  first !  "  Meanwhile," 
he  adds,  "a  proper  organization  of  our  State  forces  can  keep  the  enemy 
within  the  limits  of  this  desirable  end." l  The  correspondence  of  the  Con 
federate  War  Department  with  both  Beauregard  and  Ruggles  seems  to 
imply  that  they  kept  thoroughly  within  this  last  reasonable  view.2  On 
land  they  had  every  advantage  ;  within  the  fire  of  the  gunboats  they  were 
powerless.  Their  recapture  of  Galveston  was  not  an  exception,  since  the 
Union  forces  had  merely  occupied  a  wharf.  No  one  doubts  the  great 
energy  exhibited  by  General  Butler  in  assuming  and  exercising  his  juris 
diction,  half  civil,  half  military,  over  the  city  of  New  Orleans,  and  in  the 
then  state  of  the  public  mind  at  the  North  the  more  obnoxious  he  made  his 
rule  the  better ;  but  it  was  essentially  the  government  of  a  civil  ruler, 
though  under  military  and  naval  protection,  and  however  well  or  ill  accom 
plished  lies  apart  from  the  present  narrative,  while  the  battles  and  skir 
mishes  growing  out  of  it  find  a  proper  place  here. 

At  the  time  of  the  battle  of  Baton  Rouge,  Aug.  5,  1862,  it  is  probable 
that  Butler's  whole  active  force  did  not  exceed  seven  thousand  men,  having

been  reduced  almost  one-half  by  disease  and  other  losses  since  he  first 
entered  New  Orleans.  He  was  promised  recruits  in  the  autumn,  but  knew 
nothing  farther ;  and  it  was  not  until  he  and  General  Banks  met  in  New 
Orleans  on  December  15  that  Butler  knew  himself  superseded.1 

President  Lincoln  had  been  strongly  impressed  with  the  remarkable 
energy  shown  by  Banks  when  appointed  in  command  of  the  defences  of 
Washington,  under  McClellan,  at  the  close  of  Pope's  campaign.  "Within 
forty-eight  hours  a  mob  of  thirty  thousand  wounded  men  and  convalescents, 
who  knew  not  where  to  go,  and  of  stragglers,  who  meant  not  to  go  where 
they  were  wanted,  was  cleared  out  of  the  streets  of  Washington  and  pan 
demonium  was  at  an  end.  Order  was  rather  created  than  restored,  since 
none  had  existed  in  any  direction.  .  .  .  Less  than  two  months  later,  in 
the  closing  days  of  the  month  of  October,  President  Lincoln  sent  for 
Banks  and  said,  '  You  have  let  me  sleep  in  peace  for  the  first  time  since  I 
came  here.  I  want  you  to  go  to  Louisiana  and  do  the  same  thing  there.'"2 
With  thirty-nine  regiments  of  infantry,  six  batteries  of  artillery  and  one 
battalion  of  cavalry,  Banks  sailed  from  New  York,  under  sealed  orders, 
on  December  4,  and  reached  Ship  Island  on  Dec.  13,  1862.  Unfortunately, 
twenty-one  of  his  regiments  were  enlisted  for  only  nine  months,  of  which 
time  many  weeks  had  in  some  cases  expired.  Of  these  regiments  many 
were  from  Massachusetts,  and  of  the  general  officers  now  ordered  to  report 
to  him,  two,  Brig. -Gens.  George  L.  Andrews  and  William  Dwight,  Jr., 
were  Massachusetts  men,  the  first  of  these  becoming  ultimately  chief  of 
staff  to  General  Banks. 

General  Banks's  career  in  Louisiana  began  with  a  success  and  a  failure,  — 
the  evacuation  of  Baton  Rouge  by  the  Confederates  and  their  recapture  of 
Galveston,  which  had  been  occupied  and  then  retaken  under  peculiar  cir 
cumstances.  The  42d  Infantry  (Colonel  Burrell)  had  the  curious  expe 
rience,  just  after  it  had  reached  the  front,  of  having  three  of  its  companies 
besieged  and  captured  on  a  wharf  at  Galveston  —  a  point  then  deserted  — 
by  a  greatly  superior  force  of  Confederates,  and  of  having,  for  a  body  of 
wholly  raw  soldiers,  come  out  of  the  affair  with  honor.  They  were  ordered 
by  General  Banks,  Dec.  19,  1862,  to  proceed  from  New  Orleans  to  Galveston

and  occupy  it,  the  remainder  of  the  regiment  to  follow  when  arrived  from 
the  North.  Arriving  at  Galveston  Colonel  Burrell  was  advised  by  the 
naval  officers  at  the  station  to  tak§  up  regimental  quarters  in  an  unoccu 
pied  building  on  a  wharf,  with  their  assurance  that  the  gunboats  could  repel 
any  possible  attack  from  a  force  however  large.  Early  in  the  morning  of 
Jan.  1,  1863,  an  attack  was  made  by  the  enemy  and  several  Confederate 
gunboats  and  a  ram  entered  the  harbor.  A  hard  fight  took  place,  and 
meanwhile  Colonel  Burrell  placed  his  men  behind  barricades  on  the  wharf, 
and  they  defended  themselves  with  courage,  but  not  being  adequately 
sustained  by  the  gunboats  they  were  compelled  to  surrender,  the  enemy's 
force  turning  out  many  times  larger  than  their  own,  and  having  many 
pieces  of  artillery.  The  42d  had  five  killed  and  fifteen  wounded.  In  ac 
knowledgment  of  the  creditable  course  of  the  little  band,  Colonel  Burrell 
was  requested  to  keep  his  sword,  and  all  private  property  of  officers  and 
enlisted  men  was  respected.  Seven  officers  and  two  hundred  and  thirty- 
seven  privates  were  taken  prisoners,  but  were  paroled  February  18,  at 
Alexandria,  La.,  whither  they  had  been  marched  one  hundred  and  twenty- 
five  miles,  and  were  subsequently  ordered  to  form  a  paroled  camp  at 
Bayou  Gentilly,  where  they  were  detained  during  the  rest  of  their  term 
of  service,  except  the  chaplain,  who  was  immediately  released. 

The  first  battle  of  the  19th  Army  Corps  took  place  at  Bisland,  in 
Louisiana,  on  April  13,  1863.  It  consisted  of  an  attack  on  the  line  of 
breastworks  thrown  up  by  the  Confederates  on  each  side  of  the  Teche, 
the  brigade  commanded  by  Colonel  Gooding  of  the  31st  and  including  his 
regiment.  The  31st  carried  some  rifle-pits  in  the  wood  by  a  spirited  charge, 
in  which  they  took  two  officers  and  eighty-four  men  prisoners.  Colonel 
Gooding's  main  line  was  formed  by  the  38th  Mass,  deployed  as  skirmish 
ers,  followed  by  the  53d  Mass.,  the  regiments  replacing  each  other  when 
the  ammunition  was  expended.  As  the  fight  went  on,  the  4th  Mass,  was 
sent  forward  to  the  skirmish  line.  The  announcement  of  General  Grover's 
arrival  led  to  a  cessation  of  the  fire,  and  a  general  attack  was  ordered  for 
the  next  morning ;  but  during  the  night  the  works  were  evacuated  and  they 
were  occupied  without  difficulty  in  the  morning,  the  53d  Mass,  being  the 
first  to  plant  its  flag  on  the  left  bank.1  The  38th  Mass,  headed  the  list 
of  casualties  with  six  killed  and  thirty-nine  wounded,  the  31st  and  53d

THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  GULF.  61 

infantries  and  6th  Battery  also  suffering  losses,  the  list  including  Capt. 
Samuel  Gault  of  the  38th  and  Lieut.  G.  G.  Nutting  of  the  53d.  The 
corps  flag  of  the  19th  Corps  —  blue  with  a  white  star  and  the  figures  in 
red  —  was  carried  for  the  first  time  in  this  engagement. 

Lieutenant-Colonel  Rodman  (38th  Mass.)  mentioned  "a  case  of  marked 
coolness  and  gallantry  on  the  part  of  Private  Patrick  Smith  (Co.  D,  38th 
Mass.),  who,  coming  suddenly  upon  three  rebels  in  the  wood  upon  the 
right,  shot  one  of  them  and  compelled  the  other  two  to  surrender,  and 
brought  them  both  in  as  prisoners."1 

About  this  same  time,  Lieut.  Chas.  S.  Sargent,  volunteer  aide-de-camp 
to  General  Banks,  went  to  communicate  with  Admiral  Farragut  and  found 
Admiral  Porter  at  the  mouth  of  Red  River.  He  brought  the  report  that 
Porter  had  captured  Grand  Gulf  and  Grant  had  begun  his  victorious  march 
on  Yicksburg.2  Capt.  Howard  Dwight,  assistant  adjutant-general  at  the 
headquarters  of  General  Banks,  was  shot  and  killed  by  guerillas  at  Bayou 
Boeuf,  May  4,  1863,  after  having  surrendered  while  riding  to  the  front. 
His  brother,  Brig. -Gen.  Wm.  Dwight,  Jr.,  was  ordered  by  General  Banks 
to  arrest  one  hundred  white  persons  in  the  vicinity  and  send  them  to  New 
Orleans,  to  be  confined  as  hostages  for  the  arrest  of  the  assassins.3  There 
were  not  so  many  white  men  in  that  whole  region,  and  the  offenders  were 
never  brought  to  justice,  though  the  act  was  disavowed  and  condemned 
by  the  Confederate  officers.  Another  brother,  Maj.  Wilder  Dwight,  had 
already  fallen  at  Antietam. 

In  the  siege  of  Port  Hudson,  Colonel  Chickering  (41st  Mass.  Infantry) 
marched,  May  21,  from  Barre's  Landing  with  a  force  consisting  of  his  own 
regiment,  —  now  mounted  as  cavalry  on  prairie  horses, — the  52d  Mass. 
Infantry,  four  Maine  and  New  York  regiments  and  a  section  of  the  2d  Mass. 
Battery  under  Lieutenant  Snow.  His  column  was  to  cover  in  the  march 
"the  long  train  that  stretched  for  eight  miles  over  the  prairies,  with  a 
motley  band  of  five  thousand  negroes,  two  thousand  horses  and  fifteen 
hundred  beeves  for  a  cumbrous  accompaniment.  With  the  possible  ex 
ception  of  the  herd  that  set  out  to  follow  Sherman's  march  through 
Georgia,  this  was  perhaps  the  most  curious  column  ever  put  into  motion

since  that  which  defiled  after  Noah  into  the  ark."1  It  sustained  some 
slight  attacks  only,  and  in  its  last  thirty-one  hours  marched  forty-eight 
miles,  reaching  Brashear  May  28. 

t  On  May  21,  1863,  an  encounter  took  place,  with  some  loss,  at  Plains 
Store,  La.,  in  which  a  brisk  artillery  fire  was  interchanged,  followed  by  a 
charge  from  the  Confederates,  of  which  the  48th  Mass.  (Col.  E.  F.  Stone) 
bore  the  brunt,  being  sustained  by  the  49th  Mass.  (Col.  W.  F.  Bartlett). 
The  loss  was  not,  however,  large. 

In  both  the  two  assaults  on  Port  Hudson  (May  27  and  June  14,  1863) 
the  regiment  suffering  most  severely  was  the  38th  (Colonel  Ingraham),  the 
loss  beginning  with  Lieut. -Col.  W.  L.  Rodman  of  New  Bedford,  who  com 
manded  on  the  second  day.2  Next  to  this  in  losses  came  the  53d  (Colonel 
Kimball),  which  suffered  heavily  on  both  days,  the  31st  (Colonel  Gooding), 
the  49th  (Colonel  Bartlett),  the  4th  (Colonel  Walker),  the  48th  (Colonel 
Stone),  the  50th  (Colonel  Messer)  and  the  52d  (Colonel  Greenleaf). 

When  the  assault  on  Port  Hudson  was  ordered  for  the  27th,  a  storming 
party  of  two  hundred  volunteers  was  called  for,  nearly  half  that  number 
coming  from  the  48th  Mass.  Lieut. -Col.  James  O'Brien  of  that  regiment 
(of  Charlestown,  Mass.)  was  assigned  to  the  leadership  of  the  party, 
which  contained  fifteen  line  officers  and  seventy-seven  enlisted  men  of 
the  regiment.  Of  these,  one-half  were  to  carry  fascines  and  cotton  bags 
for  filling  the  ditch,  while  the  48th  and  49th  Mass.,  with  other  regiments, 
were  to  support  them.  When  the  order  was  given  for  the  stormers  to 
advance,  O'Brien  shook  hands  with  the  officer  who  brought  it,  and  turning 
to  his  men,  who  were  sitting  or  lying  about  him,  said  in  the  coolest  and 
most  business-like  manner,  ''Pick  up  your  bundles  and  come  on!"  The 
whole  corps  was  at  once  put  in  motion.  "A  truly  magnificent  sight," 
says  the  historian  of  the  19th  Army  Corps,  "was  the  advance  of  these 
battalions,  with  their  colors  flying  and  borne  sturdily  toward  the  front, 
yet  not  for  long.  Hardly  had  the  movement  begun  when  the  whole  force 
—  officers,  men,  colors,  stormers  and  all  —  found  themselves  inextricably 
entangled  in  the  dense  abatis  under  a  fierce  and  continuous  discharge  of 
musketry  and  a  withering  cross-fire  of  artillery.  Besides  the  field-pieces 
bearing  directly  down  the  road,  two  twenty-four  pounders  poured  upon 
their  flank  a  storm  of  missiles  of  all  sorts,  with  fragments  of  railway  bars

and  broken  chain  for  grape,  and  rusty  nails  and  the  raking  of  the  scrap- 
heap  for  canister.  No  part  of  the  column  ever  passed  beyond  the  abatis, 
nor  was  it  even  possible  to  extricate  the  troops  in  any  order  without  greatly 
adding  to  the  list  of  casualties,  already  of  a  fearful  length."1 

Lieutenant-Colonel  O'Brien  was  killed  in  this  engagement  and  the  greater 
part  of  his  little  party  was  killed  or  wounded.  But  the  most  conspicuous 
figure  on  the  field  on  May  27  was  Colonel  Bartlett  of  the  49th,  who,  having 
lost  a  leg  in  the  Peninsular,  insisted  upon  advancing  on  horseback  for  the 
half-mile  before  the  works,  over  the  roughest  possible  field,  repeatedly 
floundering  to  his  horse's  neck  amid  the  roots  and  rubbish,  and  waving  his 
sword  to  encourage  his  men.  The  only  mounted  figure  among  so  many, 
he  commanded  such  admiration  among  his  opponents  that  the  sharpshoot 
ers  forbore  to  fire  upon  him,  as  was  afterwards  stated  by  his  friend  and 
biographer,  General  Palfrey.2  After  he  was  wounded,  Maj.  Charles  T. 
Plunkett  took  command  of  the  regiment,  and  being  a  man  of  uncommon 
height,  he  too  offered  a  good  mark  for  the  enemy,  but  escaped  unhurt. 
Out  of  eighteen  officers  of  the  49th  who  went  into  the  fight  eleven  were 
wounded. 

In  the  second  assault  on  Port  Hudson  (June  14),  the  chief  loss  fell  on 
the  38th  and  53d  Mass,  infantries,  though  it  was  also  shared  by  the  4th, 
31st,  48th,  49th  and  52d,  the  50th  being  held  in  reserve.  Gen.  H.  E. 
Paine  of  Wisconsin  led  the  assault,  deploying  the  4th  Wisconsin  and  8th 
New  Hampshire  as  skirmishers,  placing  the  4th  Mass,  behind  them  with 
improvised  hand-grenades,  made  of  six-pounder  shells.  Then  the  38th  and 
53d  Mass,  were  formed  in  line  of  battle.  At  the  head  of  the  infantry 
column  the  31st  Mass.,  likewise  deployed,  carried  cotton  bags  to  fill  the 
ditch.  At  the  onset,  Paine  fell  by  the  first  discharge ;  some  of  the  38th 
Mass,  (with  some  of  the  two  New  Hampshire  and  Wisconsin  regiments) 
gained  the  ditch  and  a  few  even  climbed  the  parapet,  but  of  these  nearly  all 

1  Irwin's  19th  Army  Corps,  p.  180.    He  continues  :  "  Banks  was  all  for  putting  Dudley  over  the  open 
ground  directly  in  his  front,  but  before  anything  could  be  done  came  the  bad  news  from  the  left,  and  at 
last  it  was  clear  to  the  most  persistent  that  the  day  was  miserably  lost.    When,  after  nightfall,  the  division 
commanders  reported  at  headquarters,  among  the  wounded  under  the  great  trees,  it  was  known  that  the 
result  was  even  worse  than  the  first  accounts.  .  .  .  Worse  than  all,  if  possible,  the  confidence,  that  but  a 
few  hours  before  had  run  so  high,  was  rudely  shaken.    It  was  long  indeed  before  the  men  felt  the  same 
faith  in  themselves,  and  it  is  but  the  plain  truth  to  say  that  their  reliance  on  the  department  commander 
never  quite  returned."    The  aggregate  of  killed,  wounded  and  missing  was  nearly  two  thousand  (1,995), 
with  scarcely  any  loss  on  the  other  side.

were  made  prisoners.  "  The  rear  of  the  column  fell  back  to  the  cover  of 
the  hill,  while  all  those  who  had  gained  the  crest  were  forced  to  lie  there, 
exposed  to  a  pitiless  fire  of  sharpshooters,  and  the  scarcely  more  endurable 
rays  of  the  burning  sun  of  Louisiana,  until  night  came  and  brought  relief."1 
On  June  15,  1863,  after  the  formidable  repulse  which  had  occurred, 
General  Banks  issued  an  order  congratulating  his  troops  and  calling  for  a 
storming  party  of  one  thousand  volunteers,  promising  that  every  one  so 
serving  should  receive  a  medal  and  should  have  his  name  placed  upon  a  roll 
of  honor  in  General  Orders.  Col.  H.  W.  Birge  of  the  13th  Connecticut  at 
once  volunteered  to  lead  the  party,  and  in  spite  of  a  good  deal  of  disap 
proval,  the  ranks  were  more  than  filled  in  a  few  days.  The  surrender  of 
Yicksburg,  followed  closely  by  that  of  Port  Hudson,  rendered  unnecessary 
the  sacrifice  demanded  of  the  stormers,  but  they  had  the  honor  of  entering 
the  fort  in  advance  of  all  others,2  and  their  names  are  preserved  in  a  roll 
of  honor,  including,  as  given  by  the  historian  of  the  19th  Army  Corps,  a 
series  of  Massachusetts  names,  which  will  be  found  in  a  note.3  There  is 

1  Irwin's  19th  Army  Corps,  p.  197.  He  continues  :  "  In  this  unfortunate  situation  the  sufferings  of  the 
wounded  became  so  unbearable,  and  appealed  so  powerfully  to  the  sympathy  of  their  comrades,  that  many 
lives  were  risked  and  some  lost  in  the  attempt  to  alleviate  the  thirst,  at  least,  of  these  unfortunates.  Two 
men,  quite  of  their  own  accord,  took  a  stretcher  and  tried  to  reach  the  point  where  Gen.  H.  E.  Paine  lay, 
but  the  attempt  was  unsuccessful  and  cost  both  of  them  their  lives.  These  heroes  were  E.  P.  Woods  of 
Co.  E  of  the  8th  New  Hampshire  and  John  Williams  of  Co.  D,  31st  Mass.  Not  less  nobly,  Patrick 
H.  Cohen,  a  private  soldier  of  the  133d  New  York,  himself  lying  wounded  on  the  crest,  cut  a  canteen 
from  the  body  of  a  dead  comrade  and,  by  lengthening  the  strap,  succeeded  in  tossing  it  within  reach  of 
his  commander;  this  probably  preserved  Paine's  life,  for  unquestionably  many  of  the  more  seriously 
hurt  perished  from  the  heat  and  from  thirst  on  that  fatal  day."  2  Irwin,  p.  232.

66  NARRATIVE. 


It  is  to  be  noted  that  the  storming  column  had  been  organized  into  two 
battalions,  one  of  ten  and  one  of  eight  companies,  each  with  captain  and 
lieutenants  and  about  fifty  men.  The  senior  and  junior  majors  of  the  1st 
battalion  were  Massachusetts  officers,  Capts.  E.  P.  Hollister  and  S.  D. 
Hovey  (both  of  31st  Mass.  Infantry).  The  commander  of  the  6th  com 
pany,  1st  battalion,  was  Lieut.  L.  C.  Ho  well,  adjutant  of  the  31st  Mass. 
Infantry ;  while  the  10th  company  was  commanded  by  Capt.  E.  A.  Fiske 
(30th  Mass.  Infantry),  and  had  three  Massachusetts  lieutenants,  N.  K. 
Eeed  and  T.  B.  Johnston  (30th  Mass.),  with  James  Stewart  (31st  Mass.). 
In  the  2d  battalion,  the  7th  company  was  commanded  by  Capt.  Francis  E. 
Boyd,  and  had  for  lieutenants,  W.  T.  Hodges,  D.  P.  Muzzey  and  C.  W.  C. 
Rhoades,  —  all  four  of  the  3d  Mass.  Cavalry.1  All  these,  though  not  actu 
ally  called  into  service,  are  as  much  entitled  to  honor  as  if  they  had  been ; 
and  it  is  to  be  deeply  regretted  that  we  have  not  an  equally  complete  list 
of  the  smaller  storming  party  of  the  first  attack,  who  fought  or  fell  with 
the  brave  O'Brien. 

At  La  Fourche  Crossing  (June  21,  1863)  Lieut. -Col.  Albert  Stickney 
(47th  Mass.),  whom  Irwin  terms  "a  very  intelligent  and  spirited  young 
officer,"  and  who  had  been  for  these  qualities  put  in  command  of  the  dis 
trict,  met  and  defeated  a  Confederate  attack  with  a  small  force  made  up 
of  the  troops  of  seven  different  States,  including  fragments  of  the  26th  and 
42d  Mass.  Infantry.  In  the  battle  of  Franklin,  during  the  siege  of  Vicks- 
burg  (July  9,  1863),  the  29th,  35th  and  36th  Mass,  were  engaged,  the 
35th  making  a  dash  into  the  town  and  planting  its  flag  upon  the  court 
house.  In  that  campaign  fell  Capt.  Ezra  Ripley  of  the  29th,  who  died 
of  exhaustion  and  overwork.2  The  engineering  operations,  both  at  Port 
Hudson  and  Vicksburg,  were  largely  under  the  direction  of  Massachusetts 
officers,  —  Capt.  John  C.  Palfrey  in  the  former  case  and  Maj.  Cyrus  B. 
Comstock  in  the  latter. 

In  the  ill-fated  and  objectless  battle  of  Cox's  plantation,  or  Bayou  La 
Fourche,  July  13,  1863,  Colonel  Dudley  (30th  Mass.)  was  sent  out  with 
two  sections  of  the  6th  Mass.  Battery  (Carruth's)  along  the  right  bank  of 
a  bayou,  supported  by  Gen.  Charles  J.  Paine.  Col.  J.  S.  Morgan,  moving 
on  the  other  side  of  the  bayou,  was  surprised  and  driven  back  by  the  Con- 

i  Irwin  does  not  include  this  list,  which  is  issued  on  a  separate  sheet  by  the  Forlorn  Hope  Association.

federate  General  Green,  and  fell  back  on  Dudley,  both  being  forced  a  mile 
in  retreat,  until  supported  by  General  Paine  and  ultimately  withdrawn  by 
General  Grover.  Colonel  Morgan  was  ultimately  tried  and  sentenced  by 
court-martial,  though  this  sentence  was  suspended  by  General  Banks.  It 
was  afterwards  claimed  by  the  Confederate  commander  that  he  lost  thirty- 
three  and  the  Union  force  one  thousand,  but  Irwin  puts  this  last  amount  at 
four  hundred  and  sixty-five,  about  forty-eight  of  which  fell  on  the  30th 
Mass.  The  6th  Battery  had  one  man  wounded  and  lost  one  gun,  "  without 
the  least  fault  on  the  part  of  the  artillerists,"  says  Irwin.1 

After  General  Sherman  was  wounded  at  Port  Hudson,  Gen.  Wm. 
Dwight,  Jr.,  showed  great  energy  in  pushing  forward  the  left  of  the  Union 
line.  The  troops  brigaded  under  him  (1st  brigade,  1st  division,  19th 
Army  Corps)  were  not,  however,  from  his  own  State,  nor  were  many  of 
them  engaged  in  the  important  twin  battles  of  Sabine  Cross  Roads  and 
Pleasant  Hill,  April  8-9,  1864.  The  Massachusetts  troops  actually  in 
volved  were  the  3d  and  31st  Mass,  infantries  (the  latter  mounted)  and  the 
2d  and  13th  batteries,  brigaded  under  Colonel  Dudley  and  assigned  to  the 
cavalry  division.  They  lost  in  all  about  eighteen  killed  and  about  one 
hundred  and  fifty  wounded,  missing  or  prisoners. 

In  the  battle  which  took  place  at  the  crossing  of  Cane  River,  La.,  April 
23,  1864,  the  31st  and  38th  Mass,  infantries  were  again  engaged  with  loss, 
the  3d  Cavalry  with  some  wounded  (during  several  days  of  skirmishing) 
and  the  13th  Battery  without  loss.2  This  was  the  last  pitched  battle  fought 
before  the  transfer  of  the  19th  Army  Corps  from  Louisiana  to  Virginia, 
where  it  was  to  take  part  in  the  Shenandoah  campaign. 

There  were,  however,  various  smaller  encounters.  In  a  reconnois- 
sance  at  the  end  of  April,  1864,  the  31st  Mass.  Infantry  formed  a  part 
of  the  advance  during  the  outward  march  and  was  the  rear  guard  in 
returning,  having  encounters,  with  slight  losses,  at  Alexandria  April  26, 
at  Hudnot's  and  at  Governor  Moore's  plantations  May  1-2,  1864.  The  3d 
Mass.  Cavalry,  at  the  same  time,  was  attacked  by  QuantrelPs  guerillas  near 
Alexandria  and  lost  four  men.  Both  regiments  were  also  engaged,  during 
the  disastrous  march  down  the  Red  River  May  13-18,  with  losses,  by  which 
the  31st  especially  suifered,  at  Yellow  Bayou  having  eight  killed  and

2  For  some  reason  Irwin  fails  to  give  his  usual  accurate  statistics  on  this  occasion.    He,  however, 
mentions  the  38th  Mass,  as  present  (pp.  328,  331)

twenty-four  wounded.  The  losses  on  the  Confederate  side  were,  however, 
far  greater,  thus  mitigating  the  close  of  a  campaign  which  had  been,  on 
the  whole,  disastrous.  On  June  24,  Grant  ordered  the  transfer  of  the  19th 
Army  Corps  to  Virginia ;  the  Massachusetts  troops  still  left  in  Louisiana 
being  the  3d  Mass.  Cavalry,  the  31st  Infantry  (mounted),  and  the  4th,  7th 
and  15th  light  batteries.  All  of  these  except  the  3d  Cavalry  served  under 
General  Canby  afterwards  at  the  siege  of  Mobile,  Ala.,  March  20-April  12, 
1865.1 

XV.      THE    ARMY    OF    VIRGINIA   UNDER   POPE. 

While  McClellan  was  still  before  Richmond,  a  new  army  organization 
called  the  Army  of  Virginia  was  formed  June  26,  1862,  out  of  the  three 
corps  of  Banks,  Fremont  and  McDowell,  which  had  hitherto  acted  inde 
pendently  of  each  other  between  Washington  and  the  Shenandoah  valley.2 
The  three  corps  made  about  thirty-eight  thousand  men,  afterwards  in 
creased  by  additions.  They  were  placed  under  the  command  of  Maj.-Gen. 
John  Pope,  who  unfortunately  forfeited  confidence  in  advance  by  a  rather 
bombastic  proclamation.  One  of  his  first  acts  was  to  order  a  meeting 
between  Banks  and  Sigel  (who  had  succeeded  Fremont),  his  corps  com 
manders,  at  Culpepper  on  Aug.  8,  1862,  and  as  Sigel  failed  to  arrive, 
Banks  attacked,  the  next  day  at  Cedar  Mountain,  the  army  under  "  Stone 
wall"  Jackson,  at  first  successfully  then  unsuccessfully,  meeting  at  last 
with  heavy  loss.  Banks  was  greatly  outnumbered,  but  "  attacking  with 
much  vigor  but  without  much  discretion  he  almost  compassed  a  victory."3 
Though  but  a  single  Massachusetts  regiment  (the  2d,  Colonel  Andrews) 
was  actively  engaged,  it  was  a  battle  most  disastrous  to  the  State.  Out  of 
twenty-three  commissioned  officers,  only  eight  escaped  unhurt,  while  one- 
half  the  non-commissioned  officers  and  nearly  one-third  of  the  enlisted  men 
were  killed  or  wounded.  Maj.  James  Savage,  Jr.,  Capts.  Richard  Cary 
and  Edward  G.  Abbott,  W.  B.  Williams  and  R.  C.  Goodwin,  with  Lieut. 
Stephen  G.  Perkins,  were  all  killed,4  and  Surgeon  Leland  was  severely

THE  ARMY  OF  VIRGINIA  UNDER  POPE.  69 

Henry  S.  Russell  were  made  prisoners  of  war,  the  first  named  dying  of  his 
wounds. 

The  2d  Mass.  Infantry  was  the  first  three  years'  regiment  raised  in  the 
State,  and  received  from  its  first  commander,  Col.  (afterwards  general) 
George  H.  Gordon, — himself  a  graduate  of  West  Point, — a  standard  of 
drill  and  discipline  which  it  never  lost.  Colonel  (afterwards  general) 
Andrews,  its  second  commander,  was  also  a  graduate  of  the  academy. 
In  General  Gordon's  account  of  this  battle  he  especially  compliments  Col 
onel  Andrews,  Maj.  Wilder  Dwight1  and  Lieuts.  Henry  B.  Scott  and 
Charles  P.  Horton. 

The  12th  Mass.  Infantry  (Colonel  Webster)  acted  as  a  support  in  the 
battle  of  Cedar  Mountain,  and  there  lost  Capts.  John  Ripley  and  Nathan 
iel  B.  Shurtleff.  The  company  commanded  by  Captain  Shurtleif  was 
peculiarly  the  company  of  the  Boston  Latin  School,  and  his  death  recalled 
the  dignified  and  tender  way  in  which  he  had  spoken  of  its  possibility 
when  receiving  the  standard  given  to  his  company  by  that  school.2  At 
that  early  period  of  the  war,  when  the  public  mind  was  not  yet  inured 
to  such  calamities,  the  battle  of  Cedar  Mountain  created,  especially  in 
Massachusetts,  a  sense  of  loss  and  sorrow  surpassing  that  produced  by 
many  larger  conflicts  later  in  the  war. 

The  engagements  at  Kelley's  Ford,  Rappahannock,  Kettle  Run  and 
Groveton  in  August  cost  little  to  the  few  Massachusetts  regiments  engaged, 
but  the  second  battle  of  Bull  Run  (Manassas),  fought  by  Pope  on  his  re 
treat  Aug.  30,  1862,  involved  a  number  of  Massachusetts  regiments  in 
action  and  nine  in  actual  losses.  The  severest  occurred  in  that  celebrated 
charge  by  Hooker's  brigade,  which  included  the  1st,  llth  and  16th  Mass, 
infantries.  In  this  charge  the  16th  lost  seven  officers  and  one  hundred  and 
twelve  men  killed  and  wounded  in  fifteen  minutes,  and  it  was  estimated 
that  of  the  two  thousand  who  took  part  in  the  charge,  more  than  one- 
quarter  were  disabled.  Col.  Wm.  Blaisdell  says  of  this  charge:  "The 
llth  Regiment,  being  the  battalion  of  direction,  was  the  first  to  reach  the 
railroad,  and  of  course  received  the  heaviest  of  the  enemy's  fire.  This 
staggered  the  men  an  instant,  but  recovering  they  gave  a  wild  hurrah  and

and  others  in  Gordon's  Brook  Farm  to  Cedar  Mountain,  p.  284,  and  Walcott's  21st  Massachusetts,

over  they  went,  mounting  the  embankment,  driving  everything  before 
them  at  the  point  of  the  bayonet."1  Brig. -Gen.  C.  Grover,  commanding 
brigade,  says  that  the  "  llth  and  16th  Mass,  have  under  every  trial 
won  new  distinction."  Lieut.  Hiram  B.  Banks  of  the  16th  was  killed 
in  this  charge,  as  were  also  Lieut. -Col.  George  F.  Tileston,  Capt.  Ben 
jamin  Stone  and  Lieut.  William  R.  Porter  of  the  llth.  Capt.  Charles 
W.  Carroll  and  Lieuts.  Pardon  Almy  and  J.  E.  Simmons  of  the  18th 
fell  also  in  this  battle ;  Col.  Fletcher  Webster  and  Capt.  Richard  H. 
Kimball  of  the  12th;  together  with  three  lieutenants,  J.  M.  Mandeville  of 
the  1st,  Bartlett  Shaw  of  the  29th  and  William  H.  Flynn  of  the  28th.  It 
was  upon  the  18th  Mass,  that  the  heaviest  losses  of  all  fell.  Maj.  (after 
wards  general)  G.  L.  Andrews,  U.  S.  A.,  a  Massachusetts  officer  com 
manding  the  17th  U.  S.  Infantry,  especially  compliments  in.  his  report 
the  services  of  Lieut,  (afterwards  captain)  W.  W.  Swan,  U.  S.  A.,  also 
of  Massachusetts. 

At  Chantilly,  Sept.  1,  1862,  fell  prematurely  a  Massachusetts  officer, 
Gen.  Isaac  I.  Stevens,  who  had  left  West  Point,  it  is  said,  with  higher 
honors  than  had  been  won  by  any  previous  graduate.  He  led  an  attack  on 
foot  at  the  head  of  the  79th  New  York,  a  Scotch  regiment.  The  fire  was 
severe  and  the  color-sergeant  was  wounded,  when  General  Stevens  took  the 
colors,  calling,  "We  are  all  Highlanders  ;  follow,  my  brave  Highlanders." 
He  was  almost  instantly  struck  and  killed  by  a  bullet  in  the  right  temple, 
this  being,  as  he  had  previously  said,  the  death  he  had  most  wished  to  die. 

There  also  died  at  Chantilly,  Lieut. -Col.  Joseph  P.  Rice  of  the  21st, 
with  Capt.  John  D.  Frazer,  and  Lieuts.  Henry  A.  Beckwith,  Frederick  A. 
Bemis  and  William  B.  Hill,  also  Lieut.  Alexander  Barrett  of  the  28th. 
The  losses  fell  upon  these  two  regiments,  especially  on  the  21st,  which 
lost  thirty-eight  killed  and  mortally  wounded  out  of  four  hundred.  The 
8th  Mass.  Battery  was  also  engaged,  but  without  loss. 

On  the  following  day,  September  2,  General  Pope  was  withdrawn;  he 
returned  to  Washington  and  his  army  was  merged  in  the  Army  of  the 
Potomac.  His  boastful  early  proclamations,  with  their  very  inadequate 
result,  threw  a  cloud  over  his  whole  campaign ;  but  that  accomplished  pro 
fessional  critic,  Col.  T.  A.  Dodge,  says  that  "from  Cedar  Mountain  to

THE   ANTIETAM   CAMPAIGN.  71 

Chantilly  the  conduct  of  our  troops  stands  out  in  brilliant  relief  from  the 
tactics  of  their  commanders."1 

There  happened  afterwards  at  the  Potomac  fords  a  few  small  affairs  in 
which  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry  took  part,  especially  at  Monocacy  Ford,  near 
Poolesville,  September  5,  where  one  of  its  companies  was  sharply  attacked 
by  Longstreet's  cavalry  and  had  a  few  killed  or  wounded  and  lost-  some 
prisoners ; 2  but  nothing  more  serious  occurred  before  the  opening  of  the 
Antietam  campaign. 

XVI.      THE    ANTIETAM    CAMPAIGN. 

On  July  4,  1862,  the  President  had  called  for  three  hundred  thousand 
troops,  and  Governor  Andrew,  on  July  7,  for  fifteen  thousand.  Within 
two  months  nine  new  three-years  regiments  had  been  filled  (from  the  33d 
to  the  41st),  besides  the  9th  and  10th  batteries,  and  some  four  thousand 
recruits  for  old  regiments.  On  August  4  the  reverses  of  McClellan  and 
Banks  led  to  a  new  call  for  three  hundred  thousand  nine-months  troops,  to 
be  raised  by  draft  if  necessary ;  and  seventeen  Massachusetts  militia  regi 
ments,  numbering  more  than  sixteen  thousand  men,  were  called  out  or 
enlisted  for  that  term  of  service.  These  were  the  6th,  which  was  again 
first  in  the  field,  the  3d,  4th,  5th  and  8th  —  all  these  being  regiments  that 
had  already  served  —  and  twelve  new  nine-months  regiments,  from  the 
42d  to  the  53d  inclusive.  To  these  was  added  the  llth  Battery ;  all  this 
being  the  work  of  a  single  year.  As  one  means  of  promoting  the  neces 
sary  enlistments,  Governor  Andrew  recommended,  August  23,  that  busi 
ness  should  be  suspended  in  the  towns  and  cities  of  the  Commonwealth  for 
one  week,  in  order  that  the  citizens  should  devote  their  whole  time  to  fill 
ing  the  required  quota.  As  a  result,  no  draft  became  necessary  until  nearly 
a  year  later,  June,  1863,  and  not  then  upon  any  very  large  scale. 

At  the  battle  of  South  Mountain,  September  14,  the  prelude  to  Antie 
tam,  the  12th,  13th,  21st,  28th  and  35th  Mass,  infantries  were  engaged, 
with  the  1st  and  8th  batteries.  General  McClellan  wrote  of  this  battle, 
as  a  whole,  "The  troops  behaved  magnificently.  They  never  fought 
better."3  The  12th  and  28th  infantries  and  the  1st  Battery  lost  one  killed

each,  and  the  35th  Mass,  lost  five,  including  one  officer,  Lieut.  Charles  F. 
Williams  of  Salem.  An  injury  to  it,  even  more  serious,  was  the  loss  of 
an  arm  by  its  commander,  Colonel  (afterwards  general)  Wild,  his  other 
arm  being  also  partially  disabled, — this  permanently  withdrawing  him 
from  his  regiment,  though  he  became  afterwards  a  general  officer. 

The  Massachusetts  regiments  engaged  at  Antietam  September  16-17 
were  (actively)  the  2d,  12th,  13th,  15th,  19th,  20th,  21st,  28th,  29th  and 
35th,  and  in  reserve  or  as  supports,  the  9th,  18th,  22d  and  32d.  The 
3d  and  8th  batteries  were  also  engaged,  but  with  no  loss  of  life.  All  the 
actively  engaged  suffered  losses,  varying  from  the  nine  killed,  thirty-one 
wounded  of  the  29th  to  the  seventy-four  killed,  one  hundred  and  sixty-five 
wounded  out  of  the  three  hundred  and  thirty-four  of  the  12th  and  the  one 
hundred  and  eight  killed  of  the  15th. 

In  the  important  series  of  events  which  took  place  around  Burnside's 
bridge  at  Antietam,  Massachusetts  regiments  took  a  foremost  place.  The 
35th  and  21st  were  assigned  to  Ferrero's  brigade,  upon  which  fell  largely 
the  charge  of  carrying  the  bridge  under  great  difficulties  and  charging  the 
Confederate  rifle  pits  above.  On  September  17,  when  they  charged  across 
the  bridge  and  ascended  the  heights,  Lieutenant-Colonel  (afterwards  brevet 
brigadier-general)  Carruth  of  the  35th  was  shot  through  the  neck  and  had 
to  be  carried  from  the  field,  as  was  the  case  with  Captain  King  (afterwards 
colonel,  4th  Mass.  Heavy  Artillery),  who  was  wounded  in  seven  places. 
Capts.  A.  W.  Bartlett  of  Newburyport,  and  Horace  Mies  of  Randolph, 
both  of  the  35th,  were  killed  or  mortally  wounded,  and  when  they  were 
withdrawn,  only  three  hundred  were  left  uninjured  of  a  regiment  which 
had  quitted  home,  less  than  a  month  previous,  with  more  than  one  thou 
sand  men.  Nearly  three  hours  were  occupied  in  successive  efforts  to  carry 
the  bridge  ;  the  ammunition  of  those  taking  part  was  nearly  exhausted,  and 
the  general  in  command  reports  that  "  the  proportion  of  casualties  to  the 
number  engaged  was  much  greater  than  common."1 

The  21st  shared  the  fortunes  of  the  35th  on  that  day,  but  with  a  loss 
of  only  ten  killed,  including  Second  Lieut.  Henry  C.  Holbrook  of  Barre, 
and  thirty-five  wounded. 

i  Gen.  J.  D.  Cox  in  Century  War  Book,  II,  653.  General  McClellan,  in  a  letter  to  General  Halleck 
at  1.20  P.M.  on  the  second  day  of  the  battle,  speaks  of  it  as  "the  most  terrible  battle  of  the  war  —  perhaps 
of  history."  (Official  War  Records,  XIX  (2),  312.) 


THE  ANTIETAM  CAMPAIGN.  73 

In  other  parts  of  that  fragmentary  battle  Massachusetts  men  had  a 
prominent  share.  The  2d  Mass.  Infantry  having  taken  a  Confederate  flag, 
Lieut. -Col.  Wilder  Dwight  rode  along  the  line  displaying  it,  amid  a  storm 
of  bullets.1  Near  the  end  of  the  battle  he  fell,  mortally  wounded.  His 
last  act  before  being  wounded  was  to  walk  along  the  line  of  the  regiment, 
which  was  drawn  up  under  the  shelter  of  a  fence,  and  to  direct  the  men  to 
keep  their  heads  down  out  of  the  reach  of  the  enemy's  fire.2 

How  well  this  regiment  reflected  the  character  of  such  an  officer  may  be 
seen  in  the  contemporary  testimonials.  Brig. -Gen.  A.  S.  Williams,  com 
manding  the  1st  Division  of  the  12th  Corps,  wrote  to  Governor  Andrew, 
Dec.  5,  1862,  of  the  2d  Mass.  Infantry,  that  "in  the  battles  of  Cedar 
Mountain  and  Antietam  its  casualties  were  nearly  one-third  the  number 
engaged  in  action,"  and  added :  "In  thoroughness  of  discipline,  in  perfec 
tion  of  drill,  in  regularity  and  promptness  in  camp  and  garrison  duties, 
and  the  intelligence  and  fidelity  of  its  officers,  it  may  well  be  questioned  if 
this  regiment  has  its  superior  in  the  service."3 

Another  brave  officer  who  fell  at  Antietam  was  Maj.  William  D.  Sedg- 
wick  of  Lenox,  formerly  captain  in  the  2d  Mass.  Infantry,  but  at  the  time 
of  his  death  serving  on  the  staff  of  General  Sedgwick,  his  kinsman. 
He  fell  while  trying  to  rally  a  broken  regiment,  and  while  lying  fatally 
wounded  on  the  field,  wrote  to  his  family,  "My  country  is  welcome  to 
every  drop  of  my  blood.  I  love  my  wife  and  children  as  well  as  any  man, 
but  I  would  engage  never  to  see  them  again  if  I  could  thereby  secure  the 
abolition  of  slavery."4 

The  15th  Mass.  Infantry  sustained  the  heaviest  loss  among  all  the  regi 
ments  at  Antietam,  eighty  of  the  killed  falling  within  twenty  minutes  of 
time.  Among  these  were  Capts.  Richard  Derby5  of  Salem  and  Clark  S. 
Simonds  of  Fitch  burg,  with  Lieuts.  Thomas  J.  Spurr  of  Worcester  and 
Frank  S.  Corbin  of  Dudley.  Lieutenant  Spurr  refused,  when  mortally 
wounded,  to  be  carried  to  the  rear.6 

Among  other  regiments  there  fell,  of  conspicuous  officers,  Capt.  George 
W.  Batchelder  of  Salem  (19th  Mass.  Infantry),  Capt.  John  Saunders  (1st

Mass.  Sharpshooters),  Lieut.  Nicholas  J.  Barrett  of  Worcester  (28th)  and 
Color  Sergeant  Brown  (19th),  who,  when  mortally  wounded,  refused  to  give 
up  the  colors  he  bore.  Colonel  (afterwards  general)  Hincks  was  for  the 
second  time  severely  wounded,  the  first  time  having  been  at  Glendale. 

The  12th  Regiment  —  the  Webster  regiment  —  went  into  battle  at  An- 
tietam  with  three  hundred  and  thirty-five  officers  and  men,  and  withdrew 
at  last  with  but  thirty-five,  under  command  of  a  captain,  the  number  of 
killed  being  seventy-four  and  of  wounded  one  hundred  and  sixty-five.  As 
they  were  moving  from  the  field  three  successive  color-bearers  were  shot 
down,  when  Lieut.  Arthur  Dehon  finally  took  them  himself  rather  than 
order  any  one  else  into  danger.  Surgeon  Albert  A.  Kendall  of  the  12th 
was  killed  by  a  bullet  while  at  the  operating  table,  and  Surgeon  Edward  H. 
E.  Revere  (20th  Mass.)  also  fell.1  Lieuts.  L.  F.  Gushing  and  William  G. 
White  (12th  Mass.)  were  killed  in  this  battle,  and  Sergt.  Charles  Edward 
Johnson  of  the  same  regiment  fell  as  he  was  cheering  on  his  men  for  their 
last  attack.  Maj.  E.  M.  Burbank  and  Lieut.  George  W.  Orne  of  the  12th 
were  mortally  wounded. 

The  battle  of  Antietam  is  guardedly  characterized  by  Ropes  as  being  "a 
moderate  success."  The  losses  equalled  those  at  Shiloh,  and  they  fell 
largely  on  regiments  almost  wholly  new.  General  McClellan  admitted  a  loss 
of  nearly  twelve  thousand  five  hundred,  of  whom  more  than  two  thousand 
were  killed.2  Of  the  Confederate  dead,  two  thousand  seven  hundred  were 
counted  and  buried  on  the  field ;  and  two  thousand  of  their  wounded  were 
left  there.  Without  the  loss  of  a  gun  or  a  color,  McClellan  reported  the 
capture  of  thirteen  guns,  thirty-nine  battle  flags  and  six  thousand  prisoners. 
To  many  Massachusetts  regiments  this  was  their  first  serious  experience  of 
war. 

XVII.       THE    FREDERICKSBURG    CAMPAIGN. 

On  Nov.  5,  1862,  General  McClellan  was  relieved  from  the  command 
of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  Maj. -Gen.  A.  E.  Burnside  being  appointed 
in  his  place.  The  Massachusetts  troops  under  General  Burnside  during 
the  ensuing  Fredericksburg  campaign  were  as  follows  : 3 —

Infantry,  Col.  H.  L.  Eustis ;  37th  Mass.  Infantry,  Col.  Oliver  Edwards. 

The  first  conspicuous  service  rendered  by  Massachusetts  troops  in  the 
attack  on  Fredericksburg  was  in  crossing  the  river  in  boats  in  face  of  a 
severe  fire  on  Dec.  11,  1862.  Bridges  were  being  laid  across  the  river,  a 
work  so  impeded  by  Confederate  sharpshooters  that  in  the  afternoon  volun 
teers  were  called  for  by  Col.  N.  J.  Hall  to  cross  in  boats  arid  dislodge  the 
enemy.  Three  regiments  of  Colonel  Hall's  brigade  volunteered,  the  7th 
Michigan  and  the  19th  and  20th  Mass.  In  the  words  of  Maj.-Gen.  O.  O. 
Howard,  commanding  the  division,  "  The  7th  Michigan  passed  over  not  far 
from  3  P.M.  The  19th  Mass,  followed  immediately  at  about  3.30  P.M.,  it 
having  been  necessary  for  the  boats  to  cross  twice  with  the  7th  Michigan. 
The  boats  crossed  three  times  to  carry  over  the  19th.  The  bridge  was 
commenced  after  the  19th  had  crossed,  and  completed  at  sunset  about  4.30. 
The  20th  followed  the  19th  in  boats  before  the  bridge  was  completed.  No 
other  regiments  crossed  in  boats.  A  company  of  sharpshooters,  Captain 
Plumer's  [1st  Mass.  Sharpshooters],  covered  the  crossing  from  this  bank."1 
After  crossing,  the  19th  Mass.,  under  Captain  Weymouth,  advanced  up  the 
hill  to  the  town,  deployed  skirmishers  and  then  fell  back,  maintaining  its 
line.  Colonel  Hall,  brigade  commander,  says  in  his  report:  "The  20th 
Mass,  was  formed  in  column  on  the  street.  The  guide,  a  citizen,  was 
killed  at  the  head  of  the  column.  ...  I  ordered  Acting  Major  Macy, 
commanding  the  20th  Mass.,  to  clear  the  street  leading  from  the  bridge  at 
all  hazards.  ...  I  cannot  presume  to  express  all  that  is  due  the  officers 
and  men  of  this  regiment  for  the  unflinching  bravery  and  splendid  discipline 
shown  in  the  execution  of  the  order.  Platoon  after  platoon  was  swept 
away,  but  the  head  of  the  column  did  not  falter.  Ninety-seven  officers  and 
men  were  killed  and  wounded  in  the  space  of  about  fifty  yards. '"  Among 
these  was  Chaplain  Arthur  B.  Fuller  of  the  16th  Mass.  Infantry,  whose 
resignation  as  chaplain  had  been  accepted,  and  who  had  joined  the  force  as 
a  volunteer,  crossing  in  the  first  boat,  taking  the  rifle  of  a  dead  soldier  and 
saying  to  Captain  Dunn,  who  commanded  the  detachment,  "Captain,  I

must  do  something  for  my  country."1  This  incident  was,  perhaps,  unique 
in  the  war  in  view  of  all  the  circumstances.  Mr.  Fuller  had  just  been 
cautioned  that  he  would  be  exposed  to  especial  danger,  as  still  wearing  the 
uniform  of  a  staff  officer,  and  that,  as  he  had  his  discharge  with  him,  he 
would  not  be  subject  to  exchange  if  captured  ;  nor  would  his  family  receive 
a  pension  were  he  killed.2  It  is  a  curious  illustration  of  the  uncertainties 
of  earthly  fame  that  since  Mr.  Fuller  was  killed,  technically,  as  a  civilian,  his 
name  does  not  appear  in  the  large  volume  of  official  records  devoted  to 
Fredericksburg. 

On  the  following  day  the  Union  forces  crossed  the  river,  the  leading 
brigade  being  that  commanded  by  Gen.  Charles  Devens,  Jr.,  of  Worces 
ter,  Mass.  Brig.-Gen.  John  Newton,  commanding  the  3d  Division,  says 
in  his  report :  "  My  thanks  are  due  to  all,  according  to  their  opportunities, 
but  especially  to  Brig.-Gen.  Charles  Devens,  who  commanded  the  advance 
and  rear  guard  in  the  crossing  and  recrossing  of  the  river."3  In  the  main 
battle  of  Fredericksburg,  December  13,  the  18th  Mass.  Infantry  (Col. 
Joseph  Hayes)  was  conspicuous  'in  a  charge,  nearly  penetrating  the 
enemy's  position  at  Marye's  Heights,  where  its  dead  and  wounded  were 
found  lying  close  to  the  works.  At  the  third  assault  upon  the  enemy's 
works  in  the  afternoon,  when  the  19th  Mass,  was  put  in  front  to  occupy 
some  freshly  made  works,  which  it  held  until  its  ammunition  was  ex 
hausted,  seven  color-bearers  were  shot  down  in  succession ;  and  on  one 
occasion,  when  two  were  killed  at  once,  and  their  colors  lay  on  the  ground, 
Lieut.  Edgar  M.  Newcomb  of  Boston  seized  both  flags  and  raised  them, 
meeting  his  own  death  in  so  doing.  Somewhat  similar  to  this  was  the 
experience  of  Sergeant  Plunkett  of  the  21st,  who  raised  the  national  flag 
when  it  was  shot  down  only  to  lose  both  arms  and  be  seriously  wounded 
in  the  chest.  He  will  be  remembered  by  many,  in  later  life,  as  having 
been  for  many  years  the  armless  sergeant-at-arms  of  the  Massachusetts 
House  of  Representatives.  The  details  are  thus  given  by  his  regimental 
commander,  Col.  W.  S.  Clark:4  "The  2d  Brigade  was  now  ordered  to 
the  front,  and,  forming  in  double  line  of  battle,  most  gallantly  and  steadily 
moved  across  the  plain,  swept  by  the  destructive  fire  of  the  enemy.  When 
about  sixty  rods  from  the  city,  Color-Sergeant  Collins  of  Company  A  [21st

Mass.]  was  shot  and  fell  to  the  ground,  Sergeant  Plunkett  of  Company  E 
instantly  seized  the  colors  and  carried  them  proudly  forward  to  the  farthest 
point  reached  by  our  troops  during  the  battle.  When  the  regiment  had 
commenced  the  delivery  of  its  fire  about  forty  rods  from  the  position  of 
the  rebel  infantry,  a  shell  was  thrown,  with  fatal  accuracy,  at  the  colors, 
which  again  brought  them  to  the  ground  wet  with  the  life-blood  of  the 
brave  Plunkett,  both  of  whose  arms  were  carried  away.  Color-Corporal 
Olney  of  Company  H  immediately  raised  the  glorious  flag  and  defiantly 
bore  it  through  the  remainder  of  the  day.  Color-Corporal  Barr  of  Com 
pany  C,  who  carried  the  State  colors,  was  also  shot,  and  his  post  of  honor 
and  danger  quickly  taken  by  Color-Corporal  Wheeler  of  Company  I. 
Color-Corporal  Miller  was  also  wounded." 

Of  the  28th  Mass.  Infantry  (Col.  Richard  Byrnes),  which  had,  after  the 
20th,  the  largest  list  of  killed  and  mortally  wounded  at  Fredericksburg 
(thirty-six) ,  General  Meagher,  its  brigade  commander,  says  in  his  report : 
"It  is  a  substantial  and  splendid  addition  to  the  Irish  Brigade.  ...  It 
has  sinew,  heart  and  soul.  It  is  commanded  by  an  officer  than  whom  it 
would  be  difficult  to  find  one  of  superior  aptitude  for  his  command.  .  .  . 
I  have  not  a  word,  other  than  that  of  unqualified  commendation,  to  bestow 
on  this  well-regulated  and  admirably  disciplined  regiment."1 

The  20th  Mass.  Infantry  lost  nearly  fifty  killed  or  mortally  wounded 
in  the  whole  battle,  including  Lieut. -Col.  Ferdinand  Dreher,  Capt.  Charles 
F.  Cabot  and  Lieut.  L.  F.  Alley ;  and  Major-General  Hancock  personally 
expressed  to  Captain  Macy,  on  the  following  day,  his  gratitude  for  the 
service  rendered  by  the  regiment.  Col.  W.  R.  Lee  resigned  the  com 
mand  of  this  regiment  from  ill-health  after  the  contest  at  Fredericks- 
burg,  and  Col.  F.  W.  Palfrey  and  Colonel  Macy  were  successively  put  in 
his  place. 

The  18th  and  23d  Mass,  infantries  were  highly  complimented  at  Fred 
ericksburg  by  Major-General  Martindale;2  and  General  Hartsuff  said  that 
he  had  commanded  more  than  fifty  regiments  and  had  never  found  a 
better  than  the  13th  Mass.  Infantry  (Col.  S.  H.  Leonard).  This  last  was

2  In  General  Butterfield's  report  he  says,  "  Captain  [L.  N.]  Tucker,  18th  Mass.  Volunteers,  Acting 
A.D.  C.,  was  severely  wounded  in  the  arm  while  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties,  and  deserves  special  men 
tion  for  his  services."     (Official  War  Records,  XXI,  402.)     The  18th  once  pushed  on,  through  eagerness, 
in  advance  of  the  line.     (P.  409.)

peculiarly  a  militia  regiment  in  its  material,  and  Governor  Andrew  had 
said  of  it :  "  The  13th  could  furnish  officers  for  a  whole  regiment,  outside 
of  itself,  and  be  no  more  weakened  than  is  a  bird  by  laying  its  eggs." 

In  the  words  of  Gen.  Edward  Ferrero,  commanding  brigade  :  "The  21st 
Mass.  Volunteers  (Colonel  Clark)  .  .  .  acted  with  the  steadiness  and  cour 
age  that  they  have  always  shown  on  the  battlefield,  and  that  have  won  them 
their  high  reputation.1  The  35th  Mass.  Volunteers  also  behaved  splendidly, 
and  though  losing  their  commanding  officer,  Maj.  Sidney  Willard,2  early  in 
the  fight,  still  fought  with  unflinching  firmness.  .  .  .  Dr.  Calvin  Cutter, 
brigade  surgeon  (formerly  of  21st  Mass.),  although  injured  on  the  13th 
by  a  blow  from  a  horse,  was  unremitting  in  his  attentions  to  the  wounded 
and  was  of  invaluable  service." 3 

Lieut.  William  Hill  of  the  35th  Mass,  fell  also,  and  young  Lieut.  Arthur 
Dehon  of  the  12th,  detailed  as  aide  to  General  Meade,  who  says  of  him 
that  his  loss  ' '  is  greatly  to  be  deplored  as  that  of  a  young  officer  of  high 
promise,  endeared  to  all  who  knew  him  for  his  manly  virtues  and  amiable 
character."4 

The  12th  Mass.  Infantry  was  under  fire  six  hours  at  Fredericksburg, 
sustaining  almost  all  its  losses  in  the  last  two  hours.5  Among  the  other 
officers  of  various  regiments  who  fell  in  this  battle  were  Capts.  C.  A.  Dear 
born  of  the  32d  Mass.,  George  C.  Ruby  and  Joseph  W.  Collingwood  of  the 
18th,  Thomas  Claffee  of  the  19th,  with  Edwin  J.  Weller  and  John  Sullivan 
and  William  Holland  of  the  28th.  The  15th  lost  an  admirable  surgeon  in 
Dr.  S.  Foster  Haven  of  Worcester,  and  his  equally  useful  classmate,  Dr. 
Robert  Ware  of  the  44th,  died  not  long  after  him.6  The  29th  lost  no  com 
missioned  officer  in  the  battle,  but  its  chaplain,  Rev.  Henry  E.  Hempstead 
of  Watertown,  died  a  few  days  after  from  its  fatigues. 

With  these  great  losses  closed  the  prolonged  battle  of  Fredericksburg, 
and  with  it  the  campaign  of  1862.     The  loss  of  the  Union  troops  had  been 
three  times  that  of  their  opponents,  and  the  whole  affair  is  now  regarded  by

the  best  military  critics  as  having  been,  except  Cold  Harbor,  the  most  waste 
ful  slaughter  of  the  war.1  Yet  it  was  brought  about  by  the  deliberate  action 
of  one  of  the  most  amiable  and  humane  of  the  regular  army  generals,  in 
opposition  to  the  wishes  both  of  the  War  Department  at  Washington  and 
of  almost  all  his  own  general  officers.2 

XVIII.      MASSACHUSETTS    AND    THE    COLORED    TROOPS. 

It  is  a  curious  fact  that  one  part  of  the  Civil  War  in  which  Massa 
chusetts  may  claim  an  unquestioned  precedence  is  the  one  part  for  which 
all  her  previous  traditions  had  especially  fitted  her,  —  the  arming  of  the 
blacks.  It  was  a  movement  which  went  on  almost  simultaneously  in  differ 
ent  directions  and  on  widely  various  lines,  but  by  a  curious  fatality  every 
one  of  those  lines  passed  through  the  hands  of  a  Massachusetts  man. 

Negroes  had  long  been  employed  in  the  navy,3  but  it  is  probable  that 
the  first  direct  proposal  looking  toward  the  enlistment  of  colored  men  was 
in  a  letter  from  Governor  Andrew  to  the  Secretary  of  War,  April  25,  1861, 
in  which  he  says,  "  Will  you  authorize  the  enlistment  here  and  mustering 
into  the  United  States  service  Irish,  Germans  and  other  tough  men,  to  be 
drilled  and  prepared  here  for  service?"4  It  is  difficult  to  tell  what  these 
lines  mean,  which  were  underscored  in  the  original  letter,  if  they  do  not 
refer  to  the  negroes. 

It  was,  moreover,  the  State  of  Massachusetts  which,  in  advance  of  all 
others,  debated  in  its  Legislature  resolutions  urging  upon  the  general 
government  the  employment  of  colored  soldiers ;  these  resolutions  receiv 
ing  a  clear  majority  in  both  houses,  but  being  defeated  by  a  technicality. 
The  Senate  passed  them  by  a  vote  of  17  to  13,  and  the  House  voted  to 
suspend  the  rules  for  the  same  purpose,  74  to  69  ;  this  being  a  defeat, 
as  a  two-thirds  vote  was  required.  It  was  the  last  day  of  the  session, 
May  23,  1861,  and  this  vote  makes  it  probable  that  the  resolutions  would 

1  It  was  also  followed  by  much  illness  and  much  suffering  among  the  wounded.    Dr.  Thomas  F. 
Perley,  medical  inspector-general,  reports  (Jan.  8,  1863),  "  I  do  not  believe  I  have  ever  seen  greater  misery 
from  sickness  than  exists  now  in  our  Army  of  the  Potomac." 

2  Compare  Dodge's  Bird's  Eye  View,  p.  114.    Official  War  Records,  XXI,  67,  96,  940.    It  is  to  be  re 
membered  that  McClellan  had  been  removed  for  alleged  inaction,  and  that  Burnside  was  being  at  once 
held  back  and  pushed  on.    See  a  letter  urging  increased  action   from  Quartermaster-General  Meigs. 
(Official  War  Records,  XXI,  916  )     General  Walker  well  describes  Burnside  as  "the  sweetest,  kindest, 
most  true-hearted  of  men,  loving  and  lovable,  dashing,  romantic,  picturesque,  but  he  was  not  fit  for  the 
command  of  an  army  ;  he  knew  he  was  not."     (2d  Army  Corps,  p.  137.)

have  passed  the  House  had  it  remained  in  session  one  day  longer.  Up  to 
this  time,  it  must  be  remembered,  colored  men  were  not  admitted  to  the 
Massachusetts  militia,  repeated  applications  from  the  leading  colored  men 
of  Boston  having  failed  to  remove  the  restriction. 

In  the  final  debate,  the  main  supporters  of  the  resolution  were  Messrs. 
Henry  L.  Pierce  of  Dorchester,  Charles  W.  Slack  of  Boston  and  William  F. 
Durfee  of  New  Bedford,  the  chief  opponents  being  Messrs.  A.  H.  Bullock 
of  Worcester  and  George  T.  Davis  of  Greenfield.  The  opposition  was 
based  apparently  on  no  distrust  of  the  blacks,  but  upon  the  necessity  of 
conciliating  the  prejudices  of  the  Border  States.  Mr.  (afterwards 
governor)  Bullock  "avowed  his  willingness  to  remove  every  vestige  of 
disability  from  the  colored  citizens,  and  in  proper  time  he  hoped  to  see  it 
done.  This  was  not  the  time.  Twenty-three  sovereign  States  are  a  unit 
in  this  conflict.  He  who  would  now  cast  a  firebrand  among  the  ranks  of 
the  united  North  and  West  and  the  Border  States  will  initiate  a  calamity 
the  extent  of  which  will  be  appalling  and  inconceivable."1 

The  unquestioned  priority  in  the  actual  enterprise  belonged  to  Maj.- 
Gen.  David  Hunter  of  Washington,  D.  C.,  who  began  recruiting  May  9, 
1862,  a  black  regiment  called  the  First  South  Carolina  Volunteers.  But 
General  Hunter,  with  many  fine  qualities',  was  a  thoroughly  impetuous 
man,  whimsical,  variable  and  easily  influenced  by  his  staff  officers,  few  of 
whom  had  any  real  faith  in  the  undertaking ;  he  acted  without  authority 
from  Washington,  and  his  whole  enterprise  had  been  disallowed  by  the 
United  States  government  when  Brig. -Gen.  Rufus  Saxton,  then  military 
governor  of  the  department,  availing  himself  of  the  fact  that  one  company 
of  the  regiment  had  not,  like  the  rest,  been  disbanded,  made  that  the  basis 
of  a  reorganization  of  the  regiment  under  the  same  name;  and,  under 
authority  from  the  War  Department  dated  Aug.  25,  1862, 2  made  it  the 
pioneer  of  the  whole  subsequent  series  of  slave-regiments.  Now,  General 
Saxton  was  a  Massachusetts  man ;  so  was  the  colonel  whom  he  put  in 
charge  of  the  regiment  (T.  W.  Higginson)  ;  so  was  the  first  officer, 
detailed  Aug.  4,  1862,  to  recruit  for  the  1st  Kansas  colored  regiment 
(Capt.  R.  J.  Hinton)  ;  so  was  Maj.-Gen.  B.  F.  Butler,  who  recruited 
(Aug.  25,  1862)  three  regiments  of  free  colored  men  in  New  Orleans. 
These  five  were  the  only  colored  regiments  of  the  year  1862.  The  first

82  NARRATIVE. 


colored  regiment  recruited  by  any  Eastern  State  was  the  54th  Mass. 
(Feb.  9,  1863),  commanded  by  Col.  R.  G.  Shaw,  whose  subsequent  death 
and  burial  among  his  soldiers  at  Fort  Wagner  was  the  most  picturesque 
and  striking  event  in  the  whole  career  of  this  class  of  troops.  This,  like 
the  55th,  consisted  mainly  of  free  negroes.  Later,  the  large  enlistment  of 
colored  troops  in  the  slave  States  was  mainly  under  the  charge  of  Maj.-Gen. 
G.  L.  Andrews  and  Maj.  G.  L.  Stearns,  both  Massachusetts  men.  Such 
also  was  Maj.-Gen.  N.  P.  Banks,  whose  organization  of  the  colored  troops 
at  New  Orleans  into  the  Corps  D'Afrique,  though  in  some  respects  injudi 
ciously  planned,1  was  a  further  step.  Brig. -Gen.  Samuel  M.  Quincy,  who 
arranged  a  special  system  of  tactics  for  their  benefit,  was  also  from  Massa 
chusetts  ;  and  so  was,  at  least  by  residence,  Maj.-Gen.  Edward  W.  Hincks, 
who  commanded  colored  troops  more  efficiently,  on  a  large  scale,  than  any 
one  else  during  the  war.  All  these  things  gave  to  the  State  of  Massa 
chusetts  a  just  right  to  claim  that,  if  she  had  done  more  than  any  other 
State  to  give  an  anti-slavery  character  to  the  war,  she  had  at  least  met 
that  part  of  the  responsibility  without  shrinking.  It  must  also  be  remem 
bered  that  the  early  organizers  and  officers  of  the  colored  troops  fought,  in 
a  manner,  with  ropes  round  their  necks,  both  they  and  their  black  recruits 
having  been  expressly  denied  by  the  Confederate  government  the  privileges 
of  soldiers.2  They  had  also  to  encounter  for  a  long  time  the  disapproval 
of  many  officers  of  high  rank,  both  regular  and  volunteer ;  this  often  lead 
ing  to  a  marked  inferiority  of  weapons,  to  a  grudging  bestowal  of  supplies 
(even  of  medical  supplies)  and  to  a  very  disproportionate  share  of  fatigue 
duty,  often  interfering  greatly  with  proper  military  training.  Every  one 
of  the  above-named  Massachusetts  officers  had  these  same  obstacles  to  sur 
mount. 

1  His  organization  of  regiments  of  only  half  the  usual  size,  with  a  full  complement  of  officers  for  each, 
was  peculiarly  unfortunate ;  for  it  created  the  impression  that  the  new  levies  offered  peculiar  difficulties  in 
respect  to  drill  and  discipline,  an  impression  which  proved  quite  opposite  to  the  fact.    This  mistake  added 
to  the  social  prejudice,  already  strong  enough,  against  the  colored  troops;  and  the  prejudice  yielded  very 
slowly  to  the  influence  exerted  by  their  good  behavior,  both  in  camp  and  under  fire.

Confederate  Congress  in  regard  to  officers  was  as  follows  :    "  Sect.  4.     That  every  white  person,  being  a 
commissioned  officer,  or  acting  as  such,  who,  during  the  present  war,  shall  command  negroes  or  mulattoes 
in  arms  against  the  Confederate  States,  or  who  shall  arm,  train,  organize,  or  prepare  negroes  or  mulattoes

any  military  enterprise,  attack,  or  conflict  in  such  service,  shall  be  deemed  as  inciting  servile  insurrection, 
and  shall,  if  captured,  be  put  to  death,  or  be  otherwise  punished  at  the  discretion  of  the  court." 


MASSACHUSETTS  AND  THE  COLORED  TROOPS.          83 

The  career  of  the  Massachusetts  officers  in  organizing  colored  troops 
elsewhere  need  not  here  be  followed  in  detail,  but  that  of  the  54th  and  55th 
was  too  exceptional  not  to  be  more  particularly  mentioned.  It  has  already 
been  shown  that,  contrary  to  a  prevalent  impression,  they  were  not  the 
first  colored  regiments  organized.  Five  such  regiments  were  already  in 
existence  in  the  year  1862,  whereas  Governor  Andrew's  permission  to 
recruit  a  colored  regiment  was  not  received  until  Jan.  26,  1863,  and 
recruiting  did  not  begin  until  February  9.  The  first  squad  of  recruits 
went  into  camp  at  Eeadville  on  February  21,  and  the  regiment  was  more 
than  filled  on  May  15,  the  surplus  going  into  the  55th,  which  was  also 
finally  mustered  on  June  22.  The  men  meanwhile  had  been  recruited  in 
various  States  by  Massachusetts  agents ;  and  this,  with  the  careful  and 
elaborate  preparation  made,  gave  a  peculiar  prominence  to  the  new  organi 
zations.  The  officers  selected  were  largely  those  who  had  seen  service  in 
other  regiments,  and  the  first  colonel  was  young  Robert  G.  Shaw,  who, 
though  a  resident  of  New  York,  was  of  Boston  birth,  and  had  been  a 
Harvard  student,  though  not  a  graduate.  He  had  already  served  with 
honor  in  the  2d  Mass.,  had  proved  himself  a  good  organizer  and  com 
mander,  and  had,  among  other  special  qualifications,  that  of  a  peculiarly 
striking  appearance ;  looking  very  youthful,  with  a  blond  coloring,  which 
made  him,  as  he  rode  at  the  head  of  his  dusky  regiment,  beyond  all  com 
parison  the  most  picturesque  figure  who  had  passed  through  the  streets  of 
Boston  or  marched  down  Broadway.  So  easily  in  time  of  warlike  excite 
ment  are  men  influenced  by  such  externals,  that  no  contemporary  descrip 
tion  of  the  march  of  the  54th  fails  to  dwell  with  enthusiasm  on  this  seem 
ingly  trivial  circumstance. 

The  54th  left  camp  on  May  28,  1863,  under  orders  to  report  to  Major- 
General  Hunter  at  Beaufort,  S.  C.  Arriving  there,  it  was  brigaded  under 
Col.  James  Montgomery  of  the  2d  South  Carolina  Volunteers  (afterwards 
34th  U.  S.  Colored  Troops).  He  was  a  man  of  mature  years,  a  veteran 
guerrilla  leader  from  Kansas,  personally  daring  and  active,  but  utterly 
without  the  system  and  order  needed  by  a  brigade  commander,  an.d  with  a 
taste  for  guerrilla  methods  very  unattractive  to  the  better-trained  officers 
of  the  54th  Mass.1  Their  ultimate  removal  to  the  command  of  Brig. -Gen.

84  NARRATIVE. 


George  C.  Strong  was  a  source  of  satisfaction,  although  it  was  accom 
panied  almost  immediately  by  one  of  the  severest  ordeals  of  the  war. 
After  a  peculiarly  fatiguing  embarkation  and  night  voyage,  the  regiment 
reached  Folly  Island  at  9  A.M.  on  the  18th  of  June,  had  a  toilsome  march 
along  the  beaches  until  2  P.M.,  and  crossing  the  inlet  of  Morris  Island 
reported  to  General  Strong  at  5  P.M.  They  had  no  rations,  had  had  no 
food  that  day  and  little  sleep  for  two  nights,  and  in  this  condition  were 
placed  at  the  head  of  a  night  attack  on  Fort  Wagner.1 

XIX.   OPERATIONS  IN  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  SOUTH. 

Some  minor  engagements  occurred  in  South  Carolina  in  the  summer  of 
1862  in  which  a  few  Massachusetts  regiments  took  part ;  two  companies  of 
the  First  Cavalry  at  Pocataligo  (May  29)  under  Maj.  H.  L.  Higginson 
without  loss,  and  the  28th  Mass.  Infantry  at  Legare's  Point  (June  2)  under 
Lieut. -Col.  M.  Moore  with  only  a  few  wounded  men.  At  Secessionville 
(June  16)  an  attack  of  some  force  was  made  on  fortified  works  at  James 
Island,  and  in  this  the  28th  sustained  considerable  losses  (twenty  killed 
or  mortally  wounded),  the  affair  being  an  extremely  rash  assault  upon  a 
strongly  fortified  redoubt,  and  being  described  by  one  authority  in  the 
Department  of  the  South,  Judge-Advocate  Cowley,2  as  "an  inexcusable 
blunder  from  beginning  to  end.  They  had  to  advance  upon  a  narrow  ridge 
of  land  not  over  two  hundred  yards  wide,  swept  by  grape  and  canister 
from  six  cannon  .  .  .  and  exposed  to  a  murderous  fire  from  riflepits  and 
sharpshooters." 

The  54th  Mass,  was  under  fire  for  the  first  time  at  James  Island,  July 
16,  1863,  aiding  to  repel  an  attack  made  by  Confederate  troops  upon  the 
10th  Connecticut,  and  behaved  so  well  as  to  be  complimented  in  orders  by 
General  Terry,  who  praised  "the  steadiness  and  soldierly  conduct  of  the 
54th  Mass.,  who  were  on  duty  at  the  outposts  on  the  right  and  met  the 
brunt  of  the  attack."3  The  following  night  James  Island  was  hastily  evac-

pp.  188,  198,  215,  and  elsewhere.

engagement  and  justly  complains  of  its  being  slighted  by  historians.     (See  Putnam's  Rebellion  Record, 
V,  209-211 ;  XII,  494-504.)     "  Resulted  in  disastrous  defeat."     (Crowninshield's  1st  Mass.  Cavalry,  p.  62.) 

3  Emilio's  54th  Mass.,  p.  63,  fully  describes  this  affair.    General  Seymour  also  speaks  of  the  54th  as 
"  having  conducted  itself  comrnendably  a  few  days  previously  on  James  Island."     (Official  War  Records, 
Serial  No.  46,  p.  347.)

uated,  under  orders,  and  they  marched  all  night  in  a  severe  and  prolonged 
thunder-storm,  through  swamps  and  over  frail  narrow  bridges,  among  diffi 
culties  that  can  only  be  comprehended  by  those  familiar  with  the  peculiar 
topography  of  the  Sea  Islands,  where  every  bayou,  at  low  tide,  becomes  con 
verted  into  a  mere  rivulet  of  water  amid  vast  stretches  of  mud.  They  reached 
Cole's  Island  at  5  A.M.  ;  they  had  scarcely  any  rations  left  and  very  little 
fresh  water.  In  the  evening  they  embarked  on  another  steamer  by  means 
of  a  leaky  long-boat  holding  but  thirty,  —  so  that  they  were  all  night  in  the 
embarkation.  They  reached  Folly  Island  at  7  A.M.,  still  without  rations. 
Marching  six  miles,  they  waited  for  transportation  across  Light  House  Inlet, 
landing  at  Folly  Island  about  5  P.M.,  July  18,  1863.  In  this  condition,  the 
regiment  being  thus  exhausted  and  still  without  food,  their  commander  was 
asked  by  General  Strong  if  he  would  lead  the  column  of  attack  on  what 
was  called  "the  strongest  single  earthwork  known  in  the  history  of  war 
fare."1  General  Strong's  words  were,  "You  may  lead  the  column  if  you 
say  yes.  Your  men,  I  know,  are  worn  out,  but  do  as  you  choose."  The 
offer  was  accepted.  It  is  to  be  noticed  that  a  previous  assault  on  Fort  Wag 
ner  had  failed,  — the  leading  regiment,  the  76th  Pennsylvania,  having  halted 
before  the  tremendous  fire  and  lain  down  upon  the  ground.2 

The  attacking  force  for  this  second  assault  consisted  of  three  brigades 
of  infantry,  the  first  under  General  Strong,  composed  of  the  54th  Mass, 
with  five  other  regiments.3  The  selection  of  the  54th  was  made  by  General 
Seymour  and  General  Strong  in  consultation.  It  is  worth  recording  that 
the  latter  had  been  a  Democrat  in  politics  and  the  former  had  been  reported 
in  the  department  as  opposed  to  the  enlistment  of  colored  troops  ;  but 
there  is  no  reason  to  doubt  that  the  selection  was  made  in  perfect  good 
faith.  The  54th  was  to  lead  the  assault. 

The  head  of  the  column  being  formed,  while  the  troops  were  waiting 
Colonel  Shaw  walked  back  to  Lieutenant-Colonel  Hallowell  and  said,  "I 
shall  go  in  advance  with  the  national  flag.  You  will  keep  the  State  flag 
with  you ;  it  will  give  the  men  something  to  rally  round.  We  shall  take 
the  fort  or  die  there  !  Good-by  !  "  General  Strong,  riding  up,  said  to  the

ern  Historical  Society  Papers.)     For  the  best  descriptions  of  the  fort,  apart  from  Emilio's,  see  Ohio  Loyal

men,  "  Boys,  I  am  a  Massachusetts  man  and  I  know  you  will  fight  for  the 
honor  of  the  State."  Calling  out  the  color-bearer  he  said,  "If  this  man 
should  fall,  who  will  lift  the  flag  and  carry  it  on  ?  "  Colonel  Shaw  standing 
near,  took  a  cigar  from  between  his  lips  and  said  quietly,  "I  will,"  amid 
loud  applause  from  the  men.1  The  storming  party  advanced,  fully  visible, 
along  three-quarters  of  a  mile  of  sand,  under  a  sharp  fire  for  two  hun 
dred  yards.  Decimated  on  the  way  by  this,  they  reached  the  ditch,  de 
scended  into  it,  crossed  through  three  or  four  feet  of  water  and  mounted 
the  slope.  Colonel  Shaw,  with  both  standard  bearers,  reached  the  parapet, 
when,  just  as  he  was  shouting  "Forward,  Fifty-fourth,"  he  fell  dead,  shot 
through  the  heart.  Capts.  C.  J.  Russell  and  W.  H.  Sinipkins  were  killed 
at  almost  the  same  time.  For  some  reason,  never  fully  explained,  there 
was  an  interval  before  the  other  regiments  of  the  brigade  came  up.  Of 
course  the  54th  was  driven  back,2  and  the  loss  of  eighty  killed  showed  what 
the  struggle  had  been;  the  national  colors  were  brought  away,  and  Sergt. 
W.  H.  Carney,  who  bore  them,  was  twice  severely  wounded.  Sergt.  R.  J. 
Simmons,  Corp.  Henry  F.  Peal  and  Private  George  Wilson  were  also  espe 
cially  complimented  in  the  report 3  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Hallowell,  who  was 
left  in  command,  though  himself  very  severely  wounded ;  the  latter  soldier 
(Wilson),  when  shot  through  the  shoulder,  had  refused  to  fall  back  without 
his  captain's  permission.  Three  officers  were  killed  and  eleven  wounded, 
most  of  them  severely.  When  driven  from  the  fort  the  regiment  was  drawn 
up  in  line,  seven  hundred  yards  from  it,  under  command  of  Capt.  L.  F. 
Emilio,  ninth  captain  in  the  line,  all  his  superior  officers  having  been  either 
killed  or  wounded.  Subsequent  attacks  were  made  by  the  rest  of  Strong's 
brigade,  especially  by  the  6th  Connecticut  and  48th  Xew  York,  but  with 
similar  repulse,  General  Strong  himself  receiving  a  wound  from  which  he 
ultimately  died.  Colonel  Putnam's  brigade,  with  the  7th  New  Hampshire

is  on  p.  370.    In  a  curioiis  Confederate  list  of  "  Abolition  prisoners  captured  near  Charleston,  S.  C.,  July

OPERATIONS  IX  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  SOUTH.       87 

and  the  62d  and  67th  Ohio,  afterwards  tried  the  attack,  Colonel  Putnam 
himself  being  shot  through  the  head.  It  was  a  series  of  perfectly  hopeless 
and  desperate  night  attacks,  serving  only  to  test  the  courage  of  the  men. 
In  this  respect  it  ha4  an  effect,  beyond  any  action  of  the  war,  in  vindicating 
the  character  of  the  colored  troops.  On  this  subject  there  can  hardly  be 
said  to  have  been  a  dissenting  voice.  When  the  writer  asked  General 
Strong  afterwards,  on  board  the  steamer  which  was  to  carry  him  North, 
how  the  54th  behaved,  he  said  emphatically,  "  No  new  regiment,  which  had 
lost  its  colonel,  could  have  behaved  better."1  But  the  final  test  is  that  of 
Confederate  officers  themselves.  Lieut.  Iredell  Jones,  visiting  the  battery 
afterwards,  wrote,  "  One  file  of  negroes  numbered  thirty.  Numbers  of  both 
white  and  black  were  killed  on  top  of  our  breastworks  as  well  as  inside. 
The  negroes  fought  gallantly  and  were  headed  by  as  brave  a  colonel  as  ever 
lived.  He  mounted  the  breastworks  waving  his  sword  and  at  the  head  of 
his  regiment,  and  he  and  a  negro  orderly  sergeant  fell  dead  over  the  inner 
crest  of  the  works."5 

A  good  deal  of  just  indignation  was  created  after  this  event,  by  a  report, 
widely  disseminated,  that  an  order  had  been  given  by  General  Hagood,  in 
command  at  Fort  Wagner,  in  respect  to  Colonel  Shaw's  body,  "to  bury 
him  with  his  niggers."  In  conversing  with  General  Hagood  ten  years  after 
the  writer  was  expressly  assured  by  him  that  no  such  order  was  given  by 
him  and  that  no  such  conversation  took  place,  and  I  was  entirely  convinced 
that  there  had  been  some  misunderstanding  on  the  part  of  Assistant  Surgeon 
John  T.  Luck,  IT.  S.  N.,  by  whom  the  charge  was  originally  made  in  the 
Army  and  Navy  Journal.3  A  letter  to  me  on  the  same  point  from  General 
Hagood  will  be  found  in  Emilio's  History  of  the  54th  Mass.,4  where  the 
whole  affair  is  discussed.  I  still  retain  my  original  opinion  of  the 
matter. 

The  24th  Mass.  Infantry  (Colonel  Osborne)  formed  an  important  part 
of  the  besieging  force  which  subsequently  brought  about  the  surrender  of 
Fort  Wagner,  and  was  ordered,  Aug.  26,  1863,  to  capture  by  a  sortie  some 
riflepits  in  front  of  the  fourth  parallel  of  the  besieging  force.  Some  two 
hundred  men  took  part  in  the  attack  and  carried  the  position,  capturing  the 
occupants  (sixty-seven)  with  a  loss  of  three;  the  victors  then  entrenched

rapidly,  and  it  afterwards  became  the  fifth  parallel.  They  were  then  sub 
jected  to  a  heavy  fire,  killing  Lieut.  James  A.  Perkins  and  several  others.1 
During  the  night  the  regiment  was  relieved  by  another.  There  was  a  long 
siege  before  the  final  surrender  of  the  fort,  and  in  this  siege  the  54th  lost 
heavily  at  different  times  and  the  24th  and  40th  lightly.  The  54th,  with 
other  colored  regiments,  performed  a  rather  excessive  share  of  fatigue 
duty,  and  was  complimented  for  this  by  Maj.  T.  B.  Brooks,  assistant 
engineer.2 

The  54th  Mass,  was  again  under  fire  with  the  40th  Mass,  at  the  battle 
of  Olustee,  Fla.,  Feb.  20,  1864.  This  was  one  of  those  utterly  wasted 
defeats  caused  by  the  complication  of  political  and  military  aims.  It  was 
the  result  of  an  attempt  to  take  possession  of  the  main  land  of  Florida  with 
a  hope  of  bringing  its  people  back  into  the  Union,  —  an  attempt  in  which 
every  advantage  was  given  to  the  Confederates  by  their  possession  of  in 
terior  lines,  so  that  they  could  easily  overwhelm  any  given  force  by  bringing 
up  reinforcements.  The  first  onset  having  been  unfavorable  to  the  Union 
troops,  Montgomery's  brigade  was  ordered  forward  to  hold  the  enemy  in 
check  until  a  new  line  could  be  formed  in  the  rear.  This  was  eifectually 
done  and  a  newspaper  correspondent  wrote,  "The  two  colored  regiments 
had  stood  in  the  gap  and  saved  the  army."3  The  other  colored  regiment 
was  the  1st  North  Carolina,  which  was  first  withdrawn,  having  lost  heavily. 
The  54th  Mass,  was  finally  left  alone,  every  other  organization  having  been 
withdrawn,  including  Langdon's  U.  S.  Battery,  which  had  lost  three  guns. 
They  were  out  of  ammunition,  and  when  some  arrived  it  was  of  the  wrong 
calibre.  So  hopeless  seemed  their  position  that  Colonel  Montgomery  said, 
"  in  his  Bushwhacking  way,"  "  Now,  men,  you  have  done  well.  I  love  you 
all.  Each  man  take  care  of  himself,"  but  Lieutenant-Colonel  Hooper,  more 
wisely,  rallied  the  line,  ordered  bayonets  fixed  and  exercised  the  regiment 
in  the  manual  of  arms  to  quiet  it.  It  then  retreated  in  good  order,  the 
last  to  quit  the  field.  As  at  Fort  Wagner,  Seymour  had  allowed  his  forces

capture  an  important  position  in  front  of  Wagner  with  admiration.  .  .  .  But  what  good  was  the  capture 
of  Fort  Wagner  to  do  us  ? "     (Gordon's  War  Diary,  p.  198.)

beside  Colonel  Hallowell,  General  Seymour  rode  tip  to  that  officer  and  told  him,  in  substance,  that  the 
day  was  lost  and  that  everything  depended  on  the  54th."

to  be  beaten  in  detail  as  they  came  up.1  During  the  retreat,  the  1st  Mass. 
Cavalry  (Independent  Battalion)  assisted  in  covering  the  rear,  but  without 
losses,  and  the  55th  was  not  in  action.  The  40th  Mass,  also  lost  some  men 
in  the  engagement,  in  which  it  served  as  a  mounted  infantry,  "  on  animals 
raked  and  scraped  up  within  the  department,"  according  to  Gen.  G.  H. 
Gordon.  The  loss  of  the  54th  was  fourteen  killed,  sixty-three  wounded  and 
eight  missing. 

In  the  expedition  to  James  Island,  July  2-9,  1864,  the  54th  sustained 
no  injury,  but  the  55th  and  the  4th  Cavalry  (2d  Battalion)  had  casualties.2 
The  55th  on  taking  possession  of  the  island  attacked  and  drove  back  a  por 
tion  of  the  Confederate  battery,  capturing  two  guns.  The  troops  were  in  the 
field  a  whole  day  with  the  thermometer  at  110  degrees,  many  men  falling 
from  sunstroke.  The  whole  movement  was  ineffectual  and  rather  aimless, 
as  were  almost  all  attempts  to  advance  our  lines  among  the  islands,  and 
the  55th  lost  eleven  men  while  the  4th  Cavalry  lost  slightly.3 

The  defeat  at  Honey  Hill  (November  30)  was  less  humiliating  than  that 
at  Olustee,  because  there  was  more  object  in  the  battle.  It  formed  a  part 
of  an  attempt  to  carry  out  an  order  given  by  General  Halleck,  by  report  of 
General  Sherman,  that  General  Foster  should  break  the  Charleston  and  Sa 
vannah  Railroad  about  Pocotaligo  about  the  first  of  December.4  This  par 
ticular  fight  was  sufficiently  well  timed  for  Lieut. -Col.  C.  C.  Jones,  Jr.,  in 
his  Siege  of  Savannah  to  say  of  it,  "The  engagement  [November  30]  at 
Honey  Hill  released  the  city  of  Savannah  from  an  impending  danger,  which, 
had  it  not  been  thus  averted,  would  have  necessitated  its  immediate  evacua 
tion."  General  Potter  wrote  of  the  troops  engaged,  "Nothing  but  the 
formidable  character  of  the  obstacles  they  encountered  prevented  them 
from  achieving  success;"  and  Capt.  Charles  C.  Soule,  of  the  55th  Mass., 
wrote  to  the  Philadelphia  Weekly  Times,  "The  generalship  displayed  was 

i  "We  were  whipped  in  detail.  .  .  .  Five  brigadier-generals  had  remained  idly  awaiting  results  on 
those  islands  [Folly  and  Morris]  while  as  many  brigades,  commanded  by  colonels,  were  being  whipped  at 
Olustee."  (War  Diary  by  George  H.  Gordon,  one  of  the  brigadier-generals,  pp.  282,  283  )  Compare 
"Walker's  2d  Army  Corps,  p  405,  "  The  Confederates  knew  better.  They  had  always  brigadier-generals 
to  command  their  brigades  and  usually  major-generals  to  command  their  division." 

a  Emilio,  p.  201. 

3  "  To  continue  the  Department  of  the  South  as  an  aggressive  one  was  a  folly,  nay,  almost  a  crime." 
(War  Diary  of  General  G.  H.  Gordon,  p.  289  )  General  Gordon  had  little  patience  with  General  Gill- 
more,  whose  military  qualities,  apart  from  engineering,  were  not  highly  esteemed  by  those  under  him. 
With  admirable  scouts  at  his  command  he  rarely  took  the  pains  to  ascertain  in  advance  the  conditions  of 
proposed  operations,  and  was  quite  apt  to  throw  the  blame  on  his  subordinates  if  they  failed  to  perform 
impossibilities.  4  Emilio,  p.  237.

not  equal  to  the  soldierly  qualities  of  the  troops  engaged.  There  appears  to 
have  been  a  lack  of  foresight  in  the  preparations."  This  lack  was  certainly 
a  very  familiar  thing  in  the  Department  of  the  South,  where,  in  a  most  in 
tricate  and  peculiar  country,  expeditions  have  been  repeatedly  sent  out  with 
out  the  slightest  previous  investigation  and  wholly  without  knowledge  of  the 
localities,  — attempting  to  navigate  unnavigable  streams  and  to  cross  bayous 
of  impassable  mud,  —  and  this  when  opposed  to  an  enemy  that  knew  every 
by-path  and  held  interior  lines.  On  November  30  the  55th  Mass.  (Colonel 
Hartwell)  lost  thirty-one  killed  and  thirty-eight  wounded.  The  list  of 
killed  in  this  battle  included  Lieut.  David  Eeid  of  Boston,  who  had  had 
a  curious  sense  of  certainty  of  his  own  death,  yet  "met  his  death  in  the 
forefront  of  battle,  his  body  lying  in  advance  of  the  artillery  pieces  until 
brought  back."1 

The  55th  was  again  under  fire,  with  slight  loss,  at  Deveaux  Neck,  S.  C., 
Dec.  9,  1864,  and  without  loss  at  James  Island,  S.  C.,  Feb.  10,  1865  ;  also 
the  54th  at  Boykin's  Mills,  S.  C.,  April  1.8,  and  at  Swift  Creek  the  follow 
ing  day,  losing  six  men  in  these  engagements,  which  were  the  last  battles 
of  the  war  in  which  Massachusetts  troops  took  serious  part.  They  occurred 
in  connection  with  what  was  called  "Potter's  Raid,"  conducted  by  Gen.  E. 
E.  Potter  under  General  Sherman's  orders,  the  object  being  to  reach  and 
destroy  a  vast  amount  of  rolling  stock  on  a  railway  already  destroyed  by 
him.  The  raid  included  the  54th  and  55th  Mass,  infantries  and  a  detach 
ment  of  the  4th  Mass.  Cavalry,  and  was  put  to  an  end  by  the  appearance 
of  a  flag  of  truce  announcing  an  armistice  between  Sherman  and  Johnston. 

It  may  be  proper  to  refer  again  to  a  fact  already  mentioned,  that  the  first 
regiment  of  freed  slaves  formed  during  the  war  was  formed  of  South  Caro 
lina  and  Florida  recruits  (volunteers)  by  Brig. -Gen.  Rufus  Saxton,  military 
governor  of  the  Department  of  the  South,  —  he  being  a  Massachusetts  man, 
—  and  that  its  organization  was  intrusted  to  another  Massachusetts  man, 
Col.  T.  AY.  Higginson.  The  surgeon  and  first  assistant  surgeon,  the  chap 
lain,  a  captain  and  several  lieutenants  were  also  from  Massachusetts.  The 
headquarters  of  this  regiment  were  at  Beaufort,  S.  C.  It  did  a  large 
amount  of  duty  as  advanced  picket,  and  conducted,  with  the  co-operation  of 
the  navy,  three  important  expeditions  into  the  interior,  ascending  at  different 
times,  for  various  purposes,  the  St.  Mary's,  the  St.  John's  and  the  South

Edisto  or  Pon  Pon  rivers.  The  first  two  raids  were  eminently  successful, 
bringing  away  recruits,  provisions,  etc.,  in  addition  to  the  more  especial 
object  of  each  enterprise.  The  third  failed  of  success  from  the  want  of 
water  for  the  boats,  which  grounded  repeatedly,  —  the  Pon  Pon  River  being 
a  tidal  inlet,  almost  dry  at  low  water,  —  so  that  they  were  got  oif  with  diffi 
culty,  and  the  loss  of  the  smallest  one,  including  two  small  guns,  which 
were  afterwards  fished  up  by  the  Confederates  and  afterwards  retaken  by 
the  1st  South  Carolina  in  an  engagement, — a  curious  coincidence.  The 
regiment  was  repeatedly  in  action  with  shore  batteries  and  sustained  itself 
well,  but  failed  in  the  chief  object  of  the  enterprise,  which  was  to  ascend 
as  high  as  the  Charleston  and  Savannah  railroad  and  cut  it.1 

Due  credit  should  also  be  given  the  State  of  Massachusetts  for  the  enor 
mous  service  rendered  by  General  Saxton  as  military  governor  in  organizing 
the  vast  number  of  freedmen  and  refugees  upon  the  Sea  Islands,  and  first 
proving,  on  a  large  scale,  that  the  plantations  could  be  successfully  carried 
on  by  free  labor.  In  this  respect  he,  more  than  any  other  man,  solved  the 
problem  for  the  nation,  but  as  it  was  really  the  application  of  military 
methods  to  civil  operations,  it  cannot  properly  find  an  ampler  place  here. 
For  the  time,  the  Sea  Islands  were  an  object  lesson,  constantly  visited 
from  all  parts  of  the  country  for  the  study  of  a  difficult  and  momentous 
social  problem.

The  first  task  devolving  on  General  Hooker  was  the  reorganization  of 
his  army,  which  was  being  decimated  by  desertion  and  absence.  "  So  loose

had  been  its  discipline  that  some  eighty-five  thousand  officers  and  men 
appeared  on  the  rolls  .  .  .  as  absent  without  leave."1  One  hundred  and 
fifty  regiments  were  thoroughly  inspected,  and  on  March  3,  1863,  the  result 
of  this  inspection  was  announced.  Eleven  regiments  were  commended  and 
were  rewarded  by  special  privileges  in  the  way  of  furloughs, — three  from 
Massachusetts  (the  1st,  2d  and  20th),  two  each  from  Maine  and  New  York, 
and  one  each  from  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Wisconsin  and  Minnesota. 
Fourteen  batteries  were  similarly  commended,  of  which  two  were  from 
Massachusetts,  the  1st  (McCartney's)  and  the  3d  (Martin's).  On  the  other 
hand,  twenty -five  regiments  were  reproved  and  punished  by  cessation  of  all 
furloughs ;  of  these,  fifteen  were  from  New  York,  eight  from  Pennsylvania 
and  one  each  from  Indiana  and  Massachusetts.2  Eleven  batteries  were  also 
reproved,  not  one  of  which  was  from  Massachusetts. 

Within  four  months  Hooker  had  under  his  command  nearly  one  hundred 
and  twenty  thousand  men,3  whom  he  himself  designated  as  "  the  finest  army 
on  this  planet."  His  first  step  was  a  brilliant  one,  soon  to  be  followed  by 
defeat  and  disappointment.  On  April  29  and  30  an  army  of  fifty  thousand 
men,  each  bearing  sixty  pounds  of  baggage,  marched  twenty-seven  miles, 
crossed  two  streams  guarded  by  an  enemy,  and  took  up  a  strong  position  at 
Chancellorsville,  Va.  So  sure  was  Hooker  of  his  position  that  he  announced 
in  an  official  order  (April  30),  "  The  enemy  must  either  ingloriously  fly  or 
come  out  from  behind  his  defences  and  give  us  battle  on  our  own  ground, 
where  certain  destruction  awaits  him."4  But  the  superior  generalship  of 
Lee  and  the  westerly  flank  movement  under  Jackson  reversed  the  condition, 
and  an  utter  surprise  brought  on  a  complete  defeat.  On  May  5  the  Union 
army  recrossed  the  river,  having  lost  in  killed,  wounded  and  missing  more 
than  seventeen  thousand  men,5  of  whom  more  than  seven  hundred  were 
from  Massachusetts  regiments. 

2  Dodge's  Bird's  Eye  View,  p.  127.  Halleck  wrote  Hooker,  March  5,  1863,  that  9,692  officers  (of  the 
whole  army)  were  absent  from  their  commands.  (Official  War  Records,  39,  p.  123  )  The  result  of 
Hooker's  inspection  was  announced  in  G.  O.  18,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  March  3,  1863.  The  Order  itself 
may  be  found  in  Official  War  Records,  39,  p.  119.  Compare  Cudworth's  1st  Regiment  Mass.  Infantry,  p. 
348. 

2  It  is  to  be  observed  that  the  regiment  thus  censured,  while  occupying  on  May  3  a  breastwork 
peculiarly  exposed,  declined  the  offer  of  the  brigade  commander  to  be  relieved  and  placed  in  reserve, 
the  lieutenant-colonel  commanding  saying  that  "  the  regiment  preferred  to  remain  in  front."     (Official 
War  Records,  39,  p.  518.) 

3  It  is  doubtful  whether  Hooker  had  over  one  hundred  and  thirteen  thousand  men  for  actual  combat.

94  NARRATIVE. 


Of  all  the  great  battles  of  the  army,  Chancellorsville  stands  out  as  the 
one  complete  and  overwhelming  surprise.  Many  suggestions  of  danger 
had  been  sent  in  during  the  day  (May  2,  1863)  and  there  had  been  ample 
time  between  10  A.M.  and  6  P.M.  for  an  impregnable  defence,  but  Howard 
seemed  utterly  indifferent  to  all  alarms,  although  Schurz  and  Devens  both 
took  some  small  precautions  by  facing  a  few  reserve  regiments  to  the  flank, 
but  went  no  farther.  Curiously  enough,  the  first  immediate  notice  of  Jack 
son's  attack  "did  not  come  from  our  pickets,  but  from  deer,  rabbits  and 
other  wild  animals  of  the  forest,  driven  from  their  coverts  by  his  advance."1 
Devens,  who  was  nearest  the  enemy,  was  severely  wounded  in  attempting  to 
rally  his  men.  His  division  taken  in  flank  was  driven  back  on  Schurz's 
division,  and  that  on  Steinwehr's ;  and  all  retreated,  driven  in  by  sheer  force 
of  numbers.  Among  all  their  retreating  body  there  was  but  one  Massa 
chusetts  regiment,  the  33d,  this  being  one  of  tried  courage,  under  a  com 
mander  worthy  of  it  (Col.  A.  B.  Underwood),  and  having  for  a  brigade 
commander  one  of  the  most  daring  and  resolute  officers  in  the  whole  army, 
Gen.  Francis  C.  Barlow.  It  is  only,  therefore,  because  of  the  prominent 
share  in  the  disaster  attaching  to  a  Massachusetts  general  that  we  need  to 
dwell  on  it  at  all. 

Great  injustice  was  done  at  the  time  to  General  Devens,  in  the  assump 
tion  that  he  could  have  acted  independently  of  his  commanding  officer  in 
averting  the  surprise.  General  Noble,  then  colonel  of  the  17th  Connecticut 
Infantry,  asserted  that  "the  disaster  resulted  from  Howard's  and  Devens' 
utter  disregard  and  inattention  under  the  warnings  that  came  in  from  the 
front  and  flank  all  through  the  day."  But  Doubleday  has  shown  clearly 
that  Devens  recognized  the  danger,  as  did  Schurz,  by  the  course  they  act 
ually  took ;  and  that  they  would  have  risked  a  positive  reprimand  by  going 
any  farther.2 

1  Doubleday,  p.  27. 

2  "  As  for  Devens,  who  was  nearest  the  enemy,  it  is  quite  probable  that  any  attempt  by  him  to 
change  front  to  the  west,  previous  to  the  attack,  would  have  been  looked  upon  by  Howard  as  a  reflection 
on  his  own  generalship,  and  would  have  been  met  with  disfavor,  if  not  by  a  positive  reprimand.  .  .  . 
Devens  could  not  disgarnish  his  main  line  without  Howard's  permission,  and  it  is  not  fair,  therefore,  to 
hold  him  responsible  for  the  disaster.    As  it  is,  he  was  severely  wounded  in  attempting  to  rally  his  men." 
(Doubleday,  p.  30.)     For  the  manly  reports  of  Devens,  Schurz  and  Howard,  vindicating  their  commands 
from  the  charge  of  cowardice,  see  Official  Records,  39,  pp.  631,  634,  658.     General  Hooker  somewhat 
ungenerously  reflected  on  this  corps  in  his  letter  of  May  7  to  President  Lincoln,  saying  of  his  troops,  "  It 
is  no  fault  of  theirs  (if  I  may  except  one  corps)  that  our  efforts  are  not  crowned  with  glorious  victory. 
(Official  War  Records,  40,  p.  438.)     The  most  vivid  description  of  the  rout  of  the  llth  Corps  —  an  account 
by  no  means  flattering  —  is  in  the  report  of  Capt   Thos.  W.  Osborn,  1st  New  York  Artillery,  Chief  of 
Artillery,  Official  War  Records,  39,  p   483      Good  descriptions  may  also  be  found  in  Underwood's  33d 
Mass,  and  in  Macnamara's  Irish  Ninth,  p.  185. 


THE   CHAXCELLORSVILLE   CAMPAIGN.  95 

The  battle  of  Chancellorsville  is  chiefly  identified,  in  the  public  mind, 
with  the  humiliating  surprise  of  May  2,  though  this  was  really  only  one 
event  out  of  a  series.  Even  during  this  very  defeat  the  steadfastness 
of  the  2d  Corps,  whose  soldiers  held  their  ranks  unmoved  while  thou 
sands  of  frightened  men  ran  by  them,  is  to  be  set  against  the  stampede 
of  the  llth  Corps.  In  that  unfortunate  body,  too,  as  is  pointed  out 
by  Gen.  F.  A.  Walker,  an  eye-witness,  single  regiments  "  behaved 
with  great  fortitude"  amid  the  general  stampede,  one  of  these  being, 
as  there  is  good  reason  to  think',  the  33d  Mass.  The  whole  affair  was 
also  somewhat  exaggerated  by  the  prejudice  existing  in  the  oth%r  army 
corps  against  the  German  troops,  which  made  up  the  bulk  of  the  retreat 
ing  force. 

In  the  assault  upon  Salem  on  May  3,  Colonel  Johns  of  the  7th  Mass. 
Infantry,  a  West  Point  graduate,  led  a  column  of  assault  up  the  heights, 
ascending  through  a  stony  gorge,  commanded  by  two  howitzers.  The  col 
umn  consisted  of  the  7th  Mass,  and  the  23d  New  York  Infantry.  Colonel 
Johns  was  severely  wounded  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  Harlow,  commanding 
the  regiment,  slightly,  and  the  7th  captured  two  pieces  of  artillery  without 
firing  a  shot.  In  General  Newton's  words,  "  Colonel  Harlow  proved  him 
self  a  hero,  as  this  was  a  charge  not  exceeded  in  brilliancy  by  any  operation 
of  the  war."  General  Newton  also  said  that  "the  10th  and  37th  rendered 
their  principal  services  at  Salem  Heights,  and  their  coolness  under  fire  and 
admirable  discipline  merited  the  warmest  acknowledgments."  The  7th  was 
again  in  action  near  Salem  Church  and  lost  largely  in  the  two  encounters, 
including  Capt.  Prentiss  M.  Whiting  and  Lieut.  Albert  A.  Tillson.  Major- 
General  Sedgwick,  commanding  the  corps,  says  that  "it  is  no  disparage 
ment  to  the  other  regiments  of  the  corps  to  say  that  the  steadiness  and  valor 
of  the  6th  Maine,  5th  Wisconsin,  7th  Massachusetts  and  the  Vermont 
Brigade  could  not  be  excelled."  He  also  mentions  Col.  (afterwards 
brigadier-general)  H.  L.  Eustis  as  being  "especially  mentioned  by  his 
brigade  commander  for  gallant  service,  he  having  subsequently  taken  com 
mand  of  the  brigade,"  and  compliments  the  firing  of  the  1st  Mass.  Battery 
(McCartney's).2 

After  the  battle  or  battles  of  Chancellorsville,  General  Hooker  especially 
complimented  in  orders  the  conduct  of  the  2d  Mass.  Infantry  (Col.  S.  M. 

i  Walker's  2d  Army  Corps,  pp.  228,  229.  2  Official  War  Records,  39,  pp.  559-562.

Quincy),  as  did  also  Brig. -Gen.  Thos.  Ruger,  its  brigade  commander.  In 
a  prolonged  contest,  with  successive  lines  of  Confederate  troops  brought  up 
to  attack  them,  this  brigade  fought  with  great  steadiness  and  bravery,  much 
of  the  battle  being  in  the  midst  of  abatis  and  brush  and  "  a  regular  hand-to- 
hand  fight,"  as  one  officer  says ;  and  they  had  to  protect  themselves  with 
their  bayonets  long  after  their  ammunition  was  exhausted.  Colonel  Quincy 
is  among  those  complimented  as  having  "  displayed  great  bravery  and 
handled  their  regiments  with  skill."  Col.  S.  Colgrove,  commanding  the 
27th  Indiana  in  this  brigade,  says,  "To  say  that  the  three  old  regiments, 
the  2d  Mass.,  3d  Wisconsin  and  27th  Indiana,  fully  sustained  the  reputa 
tion  they  won  at  Cedar  Mountain  and  Antietam,  is  the  very  highest  com 
pliment  that  can  be  paid  them."1 

It  is  interesting  to  notice  that  the  remarkable  qualities  of  Col.  N.  A. 
Miles  (then  of  the  61st  New  York  Infantry),  although  before  recognized, 
came  into  notice  more  and  more  in  the  Chancellors  ville  battles,  and  are 
frequently  mentioned  in  different  reports,2  culminating  in  this  remarkable 
bit  of  foresight  on  the  part  of  Brig. -Gen.  John  C.  Caldwell,  his  brigade 
commander:  "I  greatly  regret  to  report  that  Colonel  Miles  was  severely 
if  not  mortally  wounded  on  Sunday  morning  while  handling  the  picket 
line  with  masterly  ability.  I  have  had  occasion  heretofore  to  mention  the 
distinguished  conduct  of  Colonel  Miles  in  every  battle  in  which  the  brigade 
has  been  engaged.  His  merits  as  a  military  man  seem  to  me  to  be  of  the 
very  highest  order.  I  know  of  no  terms  of  praise  too  exaggerated  to  char 
acterize  his  masterly  ability.  If  ever  a  soldier  earned  promotion,  Colonel 
Miles  has  done  so.  Providence  should  spare  his  life,  and  I  earnestly 
recommend  that  he  be  promoted  and  intrusted  with  a  command  commensu 
rate  with  his  abilities."3  Providence  having  complied  with  the  kind  sug 
gestion  of  General  Caldwell,  the  nation  seems  to  have  taken  care  of  the 
rest.  Apart  from  his  "unexampled  rapidity"  of  promotion,  it  is  to  be 
noticed  that  he  received  a  medal  of  honor  "for  distinguished  gallantry  in

(severely  wounded)  and  Major  Mudge  of  the  2d  Mass.    Colonel  Quincy's  own  modest  report  is  in  Official 
War  Records,  39,  p.  714. 

2  General  Hancock,  for  instance,  wrote  that  Colonel  Miles  "  had  great  opportunity  for  distinction  and 
availed  himself  thereof,  performing  brilliant  services."     (Official  War  Records,  39,  p.  315.)     Even  as  early 
as  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks,  however,  it  is  said  of  him  by  Gen.  F.  A.  Walker  that  "a  young  lieutenant  on 
the  staff  that  day,  fresh  from  civil  life,  showed  there,  to  the  admiration  of  all  beholders,  that  address  and 
gallantry  which  were  to  secure  a  progress  of  unexampled  rapidity,  and  to  make  the  name  of  Nelson  A. 
Miles  the  pride  of  the  volunteer  soldiers  of  the  Union."     (2d  Army  Corps,  p.  53.)

the  battle  of  Chancellor sville,  May  3,  1863,  while  holding  with  his  command 
a  line  of  abatis  and  riflepits  against  a  strong  force  of  the  enemy  until 
severely  wounded,  while  colonel  61st  New  York  Volunteers,  commanding 
the  line  of  skirmishers  in  front  of  the  1st  Division,  2d  Army  Corps." 

Col.  N.  J.  Hall,  brigade  commander,  expresses  acknowledgments  to 
Lieutenant  Ferris  (19th  Mass.)  and  Lieutenant  McKay  (20th  Mass.)  who 
volunteered,  with  twenty-five  men  from  each  regiment,  to  cross  the  river  in 
boats  and  dislodge  the  enemy  from  rinepits  that  menaced  the  builders  of  a 
bridge,  but  their  services  were  not  finally  needed,  though  the  boats  were 
made  ready.1  These  represented,  it  will  be  remembered,  the  same  regi 
ments  which  did  a  like  service  at  Fredericksburg.  Colonel  Blaisdell,  with 
the  llth,  was  praised  as  usual.2  He  was  "  highly  complimented  by  General 
Hancock  for  the  manner  in  which  himself  and  regiment  performed  the  ardu 
ous  duties  which  devolved  upon  them  on  the  extreme  left,  sustaining  unaided 
the  attacks  made  by  the  enemy  to  force  that  position  during  the  entire  day 
of  May  2." 

Among  those  who  fell  during  the  three  days  at  Chancellorsville  were 
Gen.  Amiel  W.  Whipple,  Capts.  Charles  E.  Rand  of  the  1st  Mass.  Infan 
try,  Alexander  J.  Dallas  of  the  16th  and  William  G.  Hewins  of  the  18th. 
Capts.  George  Bush  and  William  Cord  well  of  the  13th  had  been  killed  by 
artillery  fire  at  Fitzhugh's  Crossing,  being  the  only  persons  killed  (April 
29-30).  Lieut.  A.  E.  Phillips,  1st  Mass.  Cavalry,  was  mortally  wounded 
at  Rapidan  Station  (May  1).  There  fell  also  at  Chancellorsville  Lieut. 
Gerald  Fitzgerald  (2d),  John  Munn  and  John  S.  Harris  (llth),  Hiram 
Rowe  and  Samuel  Savage  (16th).  To  these  should  be  added  Col.  William 
O.  Stevens,  a  Massachusetts  man,  commanding  the  70th  New  York  Infantry, 
described  by  General  Revere,  his  brigade  commander,  as  "a  truly  splendid 
officer  and  magnificently  brave."3 

On  the  first  day  of  the  battle  of  Chancellorsville  there  took  place  a 
cavalry  skirmish  at  Rapidan  Station,  Va.  (May  1,  1863),  when  the  only 
life  lost  was  that  of  Lieut.  A.  E.  Phillips  of  Chicopee,  of  the  1st  Mass.  Cav 
alry.  The  fight  at  Brandy  Station  (June  9),  in  which  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry 
took  active  part,  was  the  first  instance  where  the  Union  cavalry  really  showed 
itself  the  equal  of  a  similar  Confederate  force.  In  the  much  more  important

cavalry  battle  of  Aldie  (June  17)  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry  bore  the  brunt  of 
the  fight,  charging  through  the  town,  capturing  several  prisoners  and  a 
battle  flag,  and  holding  the  ground  afterwards.  Out  of  three  hundred  and 
fifty-eight  who  went  into  the  fight,  twenty-nine  were  killed  or  mortally 
wounded,  forty-eight  wounded  (not  mortally)  and  ninety  missing.  Lieut. 
Hugh  Carey  was  mortally  wounded,  and  Maj.  H.  L.  Higginson  and  Capt. 
L.  M.  Sargent  were  left  for  dead  on  the  field,  though  ultimately  recovering. 
Lieuts.  C.  G.  Davis,  J.  J.  Higginson  and  L.  N.  Duchesney  were  taken  pris 
oners.1  It  was  unquestionably  the  most  important  cavalry  fight  of  the  war. 
On  June  27,  1863,  General  Hooker  requested  to  be  relieved  of  his  com 
mand,  and  Maj. -Gen.  George  G.  Meade  was  his  successor.2 

XXI.       THE    GETTYSBURG    CAMPAIGN. 

The  Massachusetts  troops  serving  in  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  (Major- 
General  Meade,  U.  S.  A.,  commanding)  at  the  battle  of  Gettysburg,  July 
1-3,  1863,3  were  the  following  :  — 

First  Army  Corps  (Doubleday). 

SECOND  DIVISION.  —  1st  Brigade,  13th  Mass.  Infantry,  Col.  S.  H. 
Leonard;  2d  Brigade,  12th  Mass.,  Col.  J.  L.  Bates.

Merriam.

2  Hooker's  military  standing  is  thus  summed  up  by  another  Massachusetts  officer :  "  As  a  corps  com 
mander,  or  with  orders  to  obey,  unless  jealousy  warped  his  powers,  he  was  unsurpassed  in  bravery, 
devotion  and  skill.    For  the  burden  of  supreme  command  he  had  neither  mental  calibre  nor  equipoise. 
Self-sufficing  stood  instead  of  self-reliance."     (Dodge's  Bird's  Eye  View,  p.  134.)     Few  personal  revela 
tions  in  the  war  are  more  remarkable  than  a  letter  written  by  General  Hooker  to  Secretary  Chase  (after 
the  battle  of  Lookout  Mountain),  in  which  he  accuses  Grant  of  false  despatches,  Meade  of  utter  incapacity, 
and  predicts  of  Sherman,  "He  will  never  be  successful.    Please  remember  what  I  tell  you."     (Official 
War  Records,  55,  p.  339.)     For  some  of  Hooker's  strong  points,  see  Cook's  12th  Mass.  Infantry,  p.  99.

In  the  battle  of  Willoughby  Run  or  Oak  Ridge  (July  1,  1863),  the 
opening  scene  of  Gettysburg,  the  13th,  brigaded  under  Brig. -Gen.  Gabriel 
R.  Paul,  was  ordered  into  action  against  a  force  so  much  larger  that  the  regi 
ments  of  the  brigade  were  detached  and  had  no  sufficient  support  from  one 
another,  the  13th  being,  moreover,  on.  the  extreme  right.  Colonel  Leonard 
was  wounded  early  and  the  command  devolved  on  Lieut.-Col  N.  W.  Batch- 
elder.  It  lasted  for  an  hour,  when  the  officer  in  command  ordered  a  charge, 
capturing  one  hundred  and  thirty-two  prisoners,  including  seven  officers, 
but  the  exposed  flank  rendered  a  retreat  finally  necessary,  during  which 
about  one  hundred  of  the  13th  were  taken  prisoners.  Out  of  two  hundred 
and  sixty  muskets  in  action,  the  whole  loss  in  killed,  wounded  and  missing 
was  one  hundred  and  eighty-nine.2  The  12th  (Col.  J.  L.  Bates),  a  much

larger  regiment,  lost  one-eighth  of  its  number,  including  Lieuts.  Francis 
Thomas  of  Weymouth  and  Charles  G.  Russell  of  Boston.  Both  these  regi 
ments  were  in  the  second  division  of  the  First  Corps,  under  Maj.-Gen.  J.  F. 
Reynolds,  though  temporarily  commanded  by  Maj.-Gen.  Abner  Doubleday. 
The  First  Corps  was,  on  this  first  day,  in  the  words  of  its  commander, 
"broken  and  defeated  but  not  discouraged,"  and  was  "a  mere  advance 
guard  of  the  army."  The  men  captured  were  largely  taken  in  the  effort  to 
reach  General  Steinwehr's  division  on  Cemetery  Hill,  which  was  their  rally 
ing  point.1 

On  the  second  day  of  Gettysburg  (July  2),  Massachusetts  regiments 
were  with  General  Sickles  in  his  firm  resistance  to  the  Confederate  attack ; 
these  being  the  18th  and  22d  and  the  5th  and  9th  batteries.  Col.  W.  S. 
Tilton,  commanding  brigade,  says  that  "the  officers  and  men  showed  the 
greatest  coolness  and  courage."2  In  other  parts  of  the  line  the  heaviest 
losses  fell  on  the  1st,  llth,  15th,  16th,  19th,  20th  and  28th.  In  the  after 
noon,  when  two  regiments  (the  15th  Mass.,  Col.  G.  H.  Ward,  and  the  82d 
New  York,  Col.  Huston)  were  sent  forward  to  fill  a  gap  in  the  lines,  they 
sheltered  themselves  behind  a  hastily  constructed  breastwork  of  rails,  and 
sustained  a  very  severe  attack  of  the  enemy,  both  colonels  being  killed  or 
mortally  wounded,  and  both  regiments  forced  back,  losing  also  a  number  of 
prisoners.3  Lieut.-Col.  G.  C.  Joslin  mentions  with  especial  commendation 
Maj.  I.  H.  Hooper  and  Lieut.  D.  M.  Earle,  acting  adjutant. 

The  28th  Mass,  was  ordered  on  the  second  day  to  carry  the  position  of 
the  enemy  on  the  crest  of  a  wooded  hill,  and  accordingly  advanced  over  the 
crest  and  nearly  to  the  bottom  of  the  hill,  when  they  in  turn  were  obliged  to 
retire,  being  flanked  on  both  sides,  and  with  a  loss  of  nearly  half  the  force 
carried  in.4 

The  32d  Mass.  (Col.  Geo.  L.  Prescott)  distinguished  itself  by  holding 
its  ground  after  the  breach  in  Sickles's  Corps  was  made.  The  32d  was  in 
front,  the  4th  Michigan  and  62d  Pennsylvania  being  behind  it.  "When 
the  attack  commenced,"  says  Col.  J.  B.  Sweitzer,  commanding  brigade, 
' '  word  was  sent  by  General  Barnes  that  when  we  retired  we  should  fall 
back  under  cover  of  the  woods.  This  order  was  communicated  to  Colonel 

i  Doubleday's  Chancellors ville  and  Gettysburg,  p.  150.  2  Official  War  Records,  43,  p.  698.

Prescott,  whose  regiment  was  then  under  the  hottest  fire.  Understanding 
it  to  be  a  peremptory  order  to  retire  then,  he  replied,  '  I  don't  want  to 
retire ;  I  am  not  ready  to  retire ;  I  can  hold  this  place,'  and  he  made  good 
his  assertion.  Being  informed  that  he  misunderstood  the  order,  which  was 
only  to  tell  him  how  to  retire  when  it  became  necessary,  he  was  satisfied, 
and  he  and  his  command  held  their  ground  manfully."1  As  a  result, 
Colonel  Prescott  was  severely  wounded. 

At  4  A.M.  the  2d  Mass.  Infantry  (Lieut. -Col.  C.  R.  Mudge)  was  ordered 
to  advance  from  behind  its  breastworks  and  charge,  in  company  with  the 
27th  Indiana,  a  Confederate  force  which  had  taken  possession  of  their  un 
occupied  breastworks  and  which  artillery  had  failed  to  disperse.  In  this 
charge  Lieutenant-Colonel  Mudge  fell  dead  and  four  successive  standard 
bearers  were  struck  down,  though  the  charge  was  but  of  four  hundred  yards 
and  took  but  twenty  minutes'  time.  There  fell  also  in  this  charge,  or  were 
mortally  wounded,  Capts.  Thomas  R.  Robeson  and  Thomas  B.  Fox  and 
Lieut.  H.  V.  D.  Stone.2  The  works  were  not  actually  recaptured  until 
several  hours  later,  when  the  2d  Mass,  occupied  them  again.  The  tree 
under  which  this  fight  took  place  is  now  in  possession  of  the  Massachusetts 
Historical  Society.  General  Stoneman  said  once,  "No  regiment  that  ever 
served  with  me  can  show  a  better  record  than  the  2d  Mass."3 

In  the  finest  single  incident  of  the  battle,  and  perhaps  of  the  war,  the 
charge  of  Pickett's  men  upon  the  centre  of  the  Union  army  and  its  repulse, 
the  2d  Corps,  containing  many  Massachusetts  regiments,  bore  the  first  brunt 
of  the  attack.  After  two  hours  of  what  was,  up  to  that  time,  the  most  for 
midable  cannonading  of  the  war,  —  more  than  one  hundred  pieces  of  artil 
lery  concentrated  on  one  spot, — when  Pickett's  division  rushed,  "with 
magnificent  courage,"  up  the  long  slope,  in  a  charge  which  still  excites  the 
admiration  of  every  visitor  to  the  green  hills  of  Gettysburg,  there  was  a 
moment  when  the  very  fate  of  the  Union  was  actually  at  stake.  "In  the 
very  centre  of  the  Union  position  crowning  Cemetery  Ridge  wave  the  flags

the  report  of  Col.  S   Colgrove,  commanding  brigade,  he  says,  "  I  wish  to  state  here  that  great  credit  is  due 
the  officers  and  men  of  Co.  F,  2d  Mass.,  as  skirmishers.    They  advanced  into  the  woods,  where  it  was  im 
possible  to  tell  friend  from  foe,  and  before  they  scarcely  knew  it  were  in  the  midst  of  a  brigade  of  the 
enemy,  from  whom  thejr  captured  twenty-three  prisoners,  and  brought  them  in,  with  a  loss  of  only  two 
captured  on  their  side  "  (p.  813).

of  Virginia  and  the  Confederacy.  .  .  .  For  an  awful  quarter  of  an  hour  the 
two  lines  stand  confronting  each  other,  here  two  hundred  yards  apart,  there 
but  forty,  pouring  in  upon  each  other  a  close  and  unremitting  fire.  There 
was  no  shrinking.  The  Union  infantry  came  up  somewhat  tuinultuously, 
it  is  true,  but  courageously,  and  formed  around  the  head  of  Longstreet's 
column,  four  ranks  deep.  Every  field  officer  in  Pickett's  division  except 
Pickett  himself  and  one  lieutenant-colonel  had  fallen.  The  field  was  won. 
One  moment  more  and  ail  is  over.  The  most  of  the  surviving  Confederates 
throw  themselves  on  the  ground ;  others  seek  to  escape  capture,  and  retreat 
hurriedly  down  the  hill  and  across  the  plain,  which  is  once  more  shrieking 
with  the  fire  of  the  artillery.  .  .  .  Thirty-three  standards  and  four  thousand 
prisoners  are  the  fruit  of  that  victory,  .  .  .  while  in  the  Second  Division 
[of  the  Second  Corps],  on  which  fell  the  utmost  weight  of  the  great  assault, 
five  battalion  commanders  have  been  killed.  Scarcely  any  regimental  offi 
cers  remain  un wounded."  1 

The  19th  (Col.  A.  F.  Devereux)  and  20th  (Capt.  H.  L.  Abbott)  were 
at  one  time  especially  exposed  on  the  countercharge,  but  it  ended  in  the 
capture  of  four  flags  by  men  of  the  19th  and  in  taking  a  very  large 
number  of  prisoners.  Colonel  Devereux  in  his  report  especially  compli 
ments  Lieut.  Moses  Shackley  of  his  regiment,  and  Captain  Abbott  especially 
selects  for  praise  Capt.  (afterwards  brevet  brigadier-general)  H.  L.  Patten, 
who  was  twice  wounded,  and  Lieut.  Henry  Ropes,  who  was  killed.2 

More  soldiers  from  Massachusetts  than  from  any  other  State  received 
medals  of  honor  for  special  services  in  the  battle  of  Gettysburg,  all  being 
from  the  19th  Mass.  Infantry,  namely:  Corp.  J.  G.  DeCastro  (Co.  I),  for 
capture  of  flag  of  19th  Virginia ;  Sergt.  B.  F.  Falls  (Co.  A),  for  capture 
of  flag;  Sergt.  B.  H.  Jellison  (Co.  C),  for  capture  of  flag  of  54th  Virginia; 
Priv.  John  Robinson  (Co.  I),  for  capture  of  flag  of  57th  Virginia.3  More 
than  twenty  years  afterward  Capt.  Edmund  Rice,  then  captain  in  the  5th 
U.  S.  Infantry,  received  a  medal  of  honor  "for  conspicuous  bravery  in 
leading  his  regiment  in  the  countercharge  against  Pickett's  division,  himself

2  See  their  reports  in  Official  War  Records,  43, -p.  442-447.    Captain  Abbott  says  of  Lieutenant  Ropes, 
"  His  behavior  in  this  battle  was  more  conspicuous  for  coolness  and  absolute  disregard  of  personal  danger 
than  any  I  ever  witnessed  in  any  other  man,"  and  gives  a  generous  and  noble  analysis  of  his  character,

THE   GETTYSBURG  CAMPAIGN.  103 

falling  .severely  wounded  in  this  the  enemy's  lines,  in  the  battle  of  Gettys 
burg,  Pa.,  July  3,  1863,  while  serving  as  major,  19th  Mass.  Infantry." 

Among  officers  not  already  named  who  fell  at  Gettysburg  (killed  or 
mortally  wounded)  were  Capts.  John  Murkland  and  H.  P.  Jorgenson  (15th 
Mass.),  Edwin  Humphrey  (llth  Mass.),  D.  W.  Eoche,  L.  G.  King  and 
C.  R.  Johnson  (16th  Mass.),  Lieuts.  W.  B.  Mitchell  (llth  Mass.),  E. 
G.  Buss  (15th  Mass.),  C.  K.  Knowles  (22d  Mass.),  George  F.  Brown 
(16th  Mass.),  Herman  Donath  and  S.  S.  Robinson  (19th  Mass.),  Sumner 
Paine1  (20th  Mass.),  W.  H.  Barrows  (32d  Mass.),  Henry  Hartley  (1st 
Mass.),  with  Christopher  Ericson  and  A.  H.  Whitaker  of  the  9th  Battery. 
A  great  loss  was  also  sustained  in  Col.  Paul  J.  Revere  (20th  Mass.), 
the  second  grandson  killed  of  the  Paul  Revere  of  revolutionary  fame,  his 
brother,  Dr.  E.  H.  R.  Revere,  having  fallen  at  Antietam.2 

In  Meade's  somewhat  belated  pursuit  of  Lee,  after  Gettysburg,  several 
Massachusetts  regiments  took  part.  At  Auburn,  Va.  (Oct.  13,  1863),  the 
10th  Mass.  Battery  (Capt.  J.  H.  Sleeper)  received  the  especial  thanks  of 
Major-General  Birney  (commanding  1st  Division,  3d  Corps)  "for  their 
gallantry  in  repulsing  the  enemy's  attack  on  the  head  of  the  column."3 

In  the  "brilliant  combat"4  at  Bristoe  Station  (October  14),  in  which 
Warren's  rear  guard  had  a  brush  with  Lee's  whole  army,  the  15th,  19th  and 
20th  Mass,  infantries  were  engaged  with  slight  loss  and  the  18th,  22d  and 
28th  without  loss.  So  in  the  running  fight  near  Berryville,  in  which  the 
34th  Mass.  Infantry  was  for  the  first  time  under  fire,  the  loss  in  that  regi 
ment  was  slight,  but  its  adventures  many,  and  its  trophies  in  the  way  of 
weapons  and  supplies  considerable.5  In  this  contest  Corporal  Gage  of 
Co.  E,  bearing  the  State  flag,  was  shot  through  the  breast,  as  was  another 
of  the  color-guard,  Corporal  Clark  of  Co.  K,  each  dying  without  a  word. 
Private  McDaniels  of  Co.  E,  being  hit  in  the  foot,  sat  down,  cut  out  the 
ball  with  his  knife  and  recommenced  firing.  It  was  in  this  fight  also  that 
Lieut.  Henry  Bacon,  when  some  of  his  company  began  bewailing  by  name

your  mouths,  boys,  and  let  your  rifles  do  the  talking."  l 

When  Meade  forced  the  passage  of  the  Rappahannock  in  pursuit  of  Lee 
a  number  of  Massachusetts  regiments  and  batteries  took  part  (Nov.  7, 
1863),  only  the  10th  and  18th  infantries  sustaining  losses,  but  not  heavily.2 
In  the  same  way,  in  the  more  extended  but  somewhat  ineffectual  four  days' 
operations  at  Mine  Run,  Ya.  (Nov.  26-30,  1863),  many  Massachusetts  reg 
iments  of  the  three  arms  of  the  service  were  engaged,  actual  losses  falling 
only  on  the  1st  Cavalry  and  the  1st,  9th,  llth,  15th  and  16th  infantries. 
Brig. -Gen.  D.  A.  Russell  of  Massachusetts  was  designated  to  convey  to  the 
Adjutant-General  seven  captured  battle  flags  and  staff,  "  because  of  his  con 
spicuous  conduct  as  the  leader  of  the  storming  party  of  the  occasion."3 

During  the  subsequent  winter  quarters  of  Meade's  army  there  was  little 
fighting,  but  a  scattering  party  of  the  2d  Mass.  Cavalry  was  surprised  and 
defeated  at  Drainsville  (near  Leesburg),  Va.  (Feb.  22,  1864),  ten  of  the 
party  being  killed,  including  Capt.  J.  Sewell  Read  of  San  Francisco,  the 
commander,  and  seven  wounded  and  fifty-seven  taken  as  prisoners. 

During  the  month  of  July,  1863,  there  occurred  draft  riots  in  New  York 
and  a  few  other  cities,  during  which  some  forces  were  ordered  to  New  York 
from  the  front  and  placed  for  a  time  under  General  Butler,  some  of  these 
being  Massachusetts  regiments,  but  fortunately  little  actual  military  collision 

was  required.4

XXII.   THE  ARMY  OF  THE  CUMBERLAND. 

The  only  Massachusetts  troops  forming  part  of  the  Army  of  the  Cum 
berland  in  1863-64  were  the  2d  and  33d  Infantry,  but  the  service  they 
rendered  was  important,  and  in  the  case  of  the  latter  peculiarly  conspic 
uous.  Troops  being  called  for  from  the  east  to  reinforce  Rosecrans,  two 
army  corps  were  hastily  sent,  the  llth  under  Howard,  the  12th  under

THE  ARMY  OF  THE  CUMBERLAND.  105 

Slocum.     The  first  of  these  included  the  33d  Mass.  (Lieut. -Col.  Godfrey 
Rider,  Jr.,  Steinwehr's  division)   and  the  second  included  the   2d  Mass. 
(Colonel  Cogswell,  Williams's  division).     The  orders  arriving  Sept.   24, 
1863,  the  troops  travelled  west  by  rail  for  a  week  ere  reaching  their  new 
command.     On  October  29  a  sudden  call  was  made  upon  the  33d  to  carry 
a  very  steep  fortified  hill,  some  two  hundred  feet  high,  at  Wauhatchie  ;  the 
task  being  intrusted  by  General  Hooker  to  Col.  Orland  Smith  (73d  Ohio), 
brigade  commander,  who  selected  for  the  purpose  his  own  regiment  and 
the  33d  Mass.,  some  four  hundred  men  in  all.     The  steepness  of  the  hill 
made  it  very  difficult  of  ascent  by  daylight,  and  in  the  night  it  was  a  for 
midable    enterprise.      When   the    Confederate    breastworks   were    at   last 
reached,  a  voice  shouted  in  the  darkness,  ''Don't  fire  on  your  friends," 
calling  out  in  reply  a  frank  announcement  of  the  title  of  the  regiment, 
which  was  followed  by  a  volley  in  their  very  faces,  killing  or  wounding 
nearly  half  their  force ;  Lieutenant  Mudge,  the  adjutant,  being  among  the 
former,  and  Colonel  Underwood  among  the  latter,  his  thigh  being  so  shat 
tered  that  amputation  became  necessary.     Falling  back  for  a  short  time, 
the  regiment  was  re-formed  and  renewed  the  charge,  carrying  the  fort,  with 
the  aid  of  the  73d  Ohio,  and  capturing  a  hundred  prisoners,  with  many 
small  arms.     Besides  the  adjutant,  Lieut.  W.  P.  Mudge,  the  list  of  killed 
or  mortally  wounded  included  Lieuts.  Joseph  P.  Burrage  of  Cambridge, 
James  Hill  of  Danvers  and  Oswego  Jones  of  Fall  River,  with  32  enlisted 
men.     More  than  60  were  wounded.     No  less  an  authority  than  General 
Thomas  says,  in  congratulating  General  Hooker,  "  The  bayonet  charge  of 
Howard's  troops,  made  up  the  side  of  a  steep  and  difficult  hill  over  two 
hundred  feet  high,  completely  routing  the  enemy  from  his  barricades  on  top 
.   .   .  will  rank  among  the  most  distinguished  feats  of  arms  of  this  war."1 
Again  at  Lookout  Mountain,  Nov.  24,  1863,  the  33d  took  part  in  the 
11  battle  above  the  clouds,"  but  with  no  casualty  except  in  a  few  wounded  and 
one  missing.     Col.  Godfrey  Ryder,  Jr.   (33d  Mass.),  was  especially  com 
plimented  in  a  report  by  Col.  Orland  Smith  (73d  Ohio,  commanding  bri 
gade),  as  was  Lieut.  E.  M.  Cheney  of  the  same  regiment,  who  served  as 
brigade  quartermaster.2     Lieut.  Arthur  Macarthur,  Jr.  (then  adjutant  24th 
Wisconsin),  a  native  of  Massachusetts,  received  a  medal  of  honor  "for

The  33d  went  into  action  with  only  seven  companies.

coolness  and  conspicuous  bravery  in  action  in  seizing  the  colors  of  his  reg 
iment  and  planting  them  on  the  captured  works  on  the  crest  of  Missionary 
Ridge,  Nov.  25,  1863."  "  When  the  color  sergeant  was  exhausted,  he 
carried  the  flag  in  front  of  the  regiment,  cheering  the  men  to  follow  him 
up  the  ridge." l  Both  the  2d  and  33d  took  active  part  in  the  battle  of  Resaca 
(May  13-16,  1864),  the  former  losing  5  killed  or  mortally  wounded.  The 
33d  again  made  a  fine  charge,  charging  and  carrying  three  fortified  hills  in 
succession,  but  having  24  killed  or  mortally  wounded,2  including  Lieuts. 
H.  J.  Parker  of  Townsend  and  E.  L.  Bumpus  off  Braintree.  At  Cassville, 
Ga.,  both  regiments  were  engaged  (May  19-22),  with  small  loss.  At 
Kenesaw  Mountain  they  had  several  engagements  in  June,  the  33d  making 
another  fine  charge,  and  losing  11  killed  or  mortally  wounded,  including 
the  2d  lieutenant,  C.  H.  Lord  of  Ipswich.  By  July  17  the  33d  had  been  re 
duced  to  a  mere  skeleton  regiment.  The  2d  Mass,  was  in  the  breastworks 
before  Atlanta  from  July  22,  1864,  and  on  the  30th  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Morse  of  that  regiment,  being  field  officer  of  the  day,  surprised  the  enemy's 
pickets  in  his  front  and  captured  them  in  their  rifle-pits.  The  regiment  was 
then  ordered  to  the  support  of  the  picket  line  and  hastily  threw  up  breast 
works.  They  were  "  within  two  hundred  yards  of  the  enemy's  forts,  and 
under  a  close  and  hot  fire  of  his  artillery,  infantry  and  sharpshooters."3 
Here  the  regiment  remained  for  six  hours,  resisting  successfully  several 
efforts  of  the  enemy  to  retake  the  hill  where  they  were  posted,  having  ex 
pended  two  hundred  rounds  of  ammunition  per  man.  They  were  relieved  at 
last  by  another  regiment  of  the  same  brigade,  the  3d  New  Jersey,  with  a 
loss  of  4  killed  and  mortally  wounded.  On  the  fall  of  Atlanta,  Sept.  2, 
1864,  the  regiment  was  placed  on  duty  as  provost  guard,  Colonel  Cogswell 
being  placed  in  command  of  the  fort. 

At  Averysboro',  N.  C.,  the  two  Massachusetts  regiments  were  again 
engaged,  the  2d  losing  8  killed  or  mortally  wounded  and  the  33d  lost  1. 
As  Sherman's  army  passed  through  the  Carolinas  and  became  united  with 
the  regiments  which  had  served  near  the  coast,  various  engagements  took 
place,  in  one  of  which,  at  Kinston,  N.  C.,  the  23d  Mass.  (March  14,  1865), 
as  previously  stated,  was  involved  and  lost  a  few  men.

During  a  part  of  the  above  events  a  portion  of  the  9th  Corps,  under 
Brig. -Gen.  R.  B.  Porter,  was  assigned  to  the  Department  of  the  Ohio, 
commanded  by  Maj.-Gen.  A.  E.  Burnside.  It  included  the  36th  Mass.  In 
fantry  (Maj.  A.  A.  Goodell),  the  29th  (Maj.  Charles  Chipman),  the  35th 
(Maj.  Nathaniel  Wales)  and  the  21st  (Lieut.-Col.  G.  P.  Hawkes).  They 
had  many  toilsome  marches  and  small  engagements  in  Kentucky,. Tennessee 
and  Mississippi,  having  been  transferred  from  North  Carolina  and  having 
set  out  from  Baltimore  on  March  24,  1863,  to  take  part  in  the  advance  on 
Jackson,  Miss.,  and  the  siege  of  Knoxville,  Tenn.  In  the  former  attack 
several  companies  of  the  36th  Mass,  did  active  duty  as  skirmishers  on  June 
11  before  the  city,  their  colonel  being  in  command  of  the  brigade ;  and  on 
the  evacuation  of  Jackson  the  35th  Mass,  in  line  of  skirmishers  were  the 
first  to  enter  the  city,  the  29th  being  the  reserve.  The  losses  of  all  these 
were  small.1  At  Blue  Springs,  Tenn.  (October  10),  there  was  a  skirmish 
without  actual  loss,  but  in  which  Major  Goodell  of  the  36th  Infantry,  a 
most  valuable  officer,  was  severely  wounded  ;  another  at  Lenoir's,  Tenn. 
(November  15),  without  loss  ;  and  one  near  Campbell's  Station  (November 
16) ,  in  which  the  29th  and  36th  lost  slightly.  In  this  case  there  was  a  sharp 
attack  by  Hood  upon  three  small  regiments  (the  36th  Mass.,  the  8th  Mich 
igan  and  the  45th  Pennsylvania),  which  narrowly  escaped  capture,  the  36th 
being  at  this  time  under  command  of  Maj.  (afterwards  general)  W.  F. 
Draper.  In  the  siege  of  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  the  21st,  29th,  35th  and  36th 
Infantry  were  all  engaged,  with  small  losses  for  each  ;  and  it  was  the  pick 
ets  of  the  36th,  under  command  of  Capt.  T.  E.  Ames  of  Co.  B,  which  dis 
covered  and  reported  the  raising  of  the  siege  by  General  Longstreet. 

XXIII.       SHENANDOAH    CAMPAIGNS. 

In  the  earlier  portions  of  the  war  Massachusetts  regiments  took  no  part 
in  the  western  campaigns,  but  an  important  part  in  the  battle  of  Shtloh  or 
Pittsburg  landing2  (April  6,  1862)  was  performed  by  Col.  Everett  Peabody 
of  the  25th  Missouri,  a  Massachusetts  man  and  a  Harvard  graduate.  He  at 
that  time  commanded  a  brigade,  and  was  so  sure  of  the  surprise  which  had 
been  planned  against  the  Union  troops  that  he  sent  out  a  scouting  party,

which  was  the  first  to  discover  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  and  then  fell 
back  skirmishing.  Colonel  Peabody's  brigade  was  one  of  the  few  which 
were  in  line  when  the  attack  came  on ;  he  rode  to  the  front,  in  order  to  en 
courage  his  men,  and  fell  in  fifteen  minutes,  receiving  five  wounds,  —  in  the 
head,  thigh,  neck  and  body.  His  brigade  retreated  in  good  order,  and  his 
own  regiment  numbered  six  hundred  on  the  day  after  the  battle,  which 
could  not  have  occurred  had  not  its  colonel  taken  better  care  of  his  men 
than  of  himself.1 

The  history  of  the  Shenandoah  Valley  campaigns  really  begins  in  1862, 
when  Jackson  "  defeated  Fremont  at  Cross  Keys,  captured  the  garrison  at 
Front  Royal,  drove  Banks  across  the  Potomac,  and,  by  alarming  Washing 
ton,  broke  up  the  impending  junction  of  McDowell  and  McClellan  and  the 
threatened  capture  of  Richmond." 2  The  part  taken  by  Massachusetts  troops 
in  these  proceedings  was  fortunately  not  large,  and  fell  chiefly  on  the 
2d  Mass.  Infantry,  which  formed  the  rear  guard  during  a  large  part  of 
Banks's  retreat,  marched  fifty-six  miles  in  thirty-three  hours,  lost  many 
killed  and  nearly  a  hundred  prisoners,  including  its  major,  surgeon  and  as 
sistant  surgeon.  Col.  Geo.  H.  Gordon,  its  commander,  won  his  promotion 
to  a  brigadier-generalship  by  his  distinguished  services  on  this  retreat.  At 
Front  Royal  and  Winchester  (May  23-25)  the  regiment  lost  some  16  killed 
and  mortally  wounded. 

In  the  overwhelming  defeat  of  General  Sigel  at  Newmarket,  Ya.,  May  15, 
1864,  the  34th  Infantry  was  the  only  Massachusetts  regiment  involved,  and 
it  did  its  best  to  sustain  the  artillery  by  which  it  was  posted,  one  company 
being  deployed  as  skirmishers  on  the  river  bank.3  It  made  one  remarkable 
charge  with  such  energy  that,  on  the  order  to  retreat  being  given,  Col.  G. 
D.  Wells,  then  in  command,  was  compelled  to  take  the  standard  bearer  by 
the  shoulders  and  force  him  to  the  rear.  It  afterwards  held  back  the  retreat 
while  the  whole  line  was  giving  way.  Taking  into  action  about  500  men, 
it  lost  about  half  of  them  in  killed  (32),  wounded  and  prisoners,  Lieut. - 
Col.  W.  S.  Lincoln  being  among  the  latter.  Colonel  Wells  was  also 
wounded,  but  remained  on  the  field. 

In  the  early  and  at  last  ineffectual  campaign  of  General  Hunter  in  the 
Shenandoah  Valley,  the  hard-worked  34th  Mass.  Infantry  had  a  hand  in  a

single  brilliant  victory, — that  of  Piedmont,  June  5,  when  it  crossed,  as  a 
part  of  Thoburn's  division,  a  deep  ravine  to  strike  the  right  flank  of  the 
enemy.  The  division  charged  on  the  woods  and  heights,  which  were 
promptly  abandoned  by  the  Confederates,  many  of  the  latter  rushing  over 
the  steep  bank  into  the  river.  About  1,500  prisoners  were  taken  by  the 
Union  troops,  and  the  Confederate  general,  Vaughan,  wrote  to  General 
Bragg,  June  6,  "  Went  into  the  fight  yesterday  with  an  aggregate  of  5,600  ; 
I  have  not  over  3,000  effectives."1  The  34th  Mass,  lost  on  this  occasion 
24.  It  took  part  also  in  the  unsuccessful  attack  on  Lynchburg,  June  17- 
18,  and  in  the  affair  at  Snicker's  Ferry,  July  18  ;  also  at  Winchester,  Ya., 
July  24-25,  without  loss. 

The  Army  of  the  Shenandoah,  as  reorganized  under  Maj.-Gen.  P.  H.

At  the  head  of  the  3d  Brigade,  first  division  of  the  large  cavalry  force, 
was  Colonel  Charles  R.  Lowell,  with  his  own  regiment,  the  2d  Mass. 
Cavalry,  brigaded  under  him,  all  the  rest  of  the  brigade  being  regulars. 
This  was  the  Massachusetts  contingent  under  Sheridan  in  his  Shenandoah 
campaign.  This  campaign  was  on  the  defensive  until  the  opposing  force

of  Early  was  weakened  by  the  detachment  of  Kershaw's  force ;  but  after 
this  there  was  no  more  delay. 

The  battle  of  Opequon  (or  Winchester),  Va.,  September  19,  was,  in 
the  words  of  General  Sheridan,  "  a  most  stubborn  and  sanguinary  engage 
ment,  which  lasted  from  early  in  the  morning  until  five  o'clock  in  the  even 
ing."  It  was  testified  by  the  same  general  that  "the  conduct  of  both 
officers  and  men  was  most  superb."1  An  impetuous  charge  was  made  by 
Grover's  division,  including  the  26th  and  38th  Mass.  Infantry  and  the 
3d  Cavalry  (dismounted),  upon  a  Georgia  brigade.  General  Birge,  com 
manding  the  brigade  containing  the  26th,  says,  "As  the  troops  entered 
the  woods,  I  was  ordered  by  General  Grover  to  halt  and  hold  that  position, 
and  not  to  go  farther  into  the  woods ;  but  the  charge  was  so  rapid  and 
impetuous  and  the  men  so  much  excited  by  the  sight  of  the  enemy  in  full 
retreat  before  them  that  it  was  impossible  to  execute  the  order,  and  the 
whole  line  pressed  forward  to  the  extreme  edge  of  the  timber,  some  three 
hundred  yards  beyond  the  enemy's  original  position  and  to  his  rear  on  both 
flanks.  The  brigade  was  now  far  in  advance  of  our  own  line."2  The  fresh 
troops  of  Rodes  coming  up,  Grover's  fell  back,  when  Russell's  division  of 
the  6th  Corps  came  up,  struck  the  flank  of  Rodes's  force,  and,  aided  by 
the  5th  Maine  battery,  again  turned  the  tide  and  re-established  the  line. 
"On  the  left  of  the  brigade,"  wrote  General  Upton,  brigade  commander, 
"the  37th  Mass.  Volunteers  rendered  invaluable  service  in  supporting 
Stevens's  battery."3  Gen.  D.  A.  Russell,  himself  a  gallant  Massachusetts 
officer,  commanding  a  division,  was  killed  by  a  piece  of  shell  during  the 
movement.  "  His  death,"  said  Sheridan,  "  brought  sorrow  to  every  heart 
in  the  army."  In  this  engagement  the  Massachusetts  troops  losing  most 
heavily  were  the  26th,  34th,  37th  Infantry  and  the  3d  Cavalry  (dis 
mounted).  Battery  1  had  4  wounded  only.  The  losses  included  Maj.  E. 
S.  Clark  and  Capt.  E.  W.  Thayer  of  the  26th,  Lieut.  J.  P.  Haley  of  the 
30th  and  Lieuts.  J.  F.  Glidden  and  J.  F.  Poole  of  the  3d  Cavalry.  These 
were  all  from  the  19th  Corps,  arrived  from  Florida  to  take  part  in  the 
campaign.  At  one  time  during  this  battle  the  brigade  containing  the  34th 
Mass.,  having  been  for  some  time  stationary  under  fire,  was  notified  by 
General  Thoburn  that  they  would  be  presently  ordered  to  charge.  "While

he  was  speaking,  the  34th  Mass,  on  the  right,  impatient  at  their  constant 
great  and  increasing  loss,  sprang  to  their  feet  and  started  for  the  rebel 
battery  alone ;  almost  at  the  same  moment  the  long-looked  for  movement 
was  made,  our  whole  line  went  forward  with  a  cheer,  and  the  rebels  were 
driven  from  the  wall  in  utter  rout."  This  is  the  description  given  in  the 
report  of  Col.  G.  D.  Wells,  brigade  commander,  and  he  adds,  "I  desire 
to  call  especial  attention  to  the  conduct  of  Major  Pratt  and  his  regiment 
in  the  last  charge,"  and  mentions  also  the  death  of  Capt.  G.  W.  Thompson, 
"for  a  long  time  commanding  the  regiment,  and  a  most  valuable  and  gal 
lant  officer."1 

In  "the  hurricane  battle,"  as  it  has  been  called,  of  Fisher's  Hill,  Va. 
(September  21,  22),  Massachusetts  troops  took  an  active  part.  Early  had 
been  already  alarmed  by  the  gradual  approach  of  the  Union  troops,  and 
was  preparing,  as  he  says,  to  retreat  after  dark,  when  at  sunset  the  troops 
of  Crook,  who  had  been  gradually  approaching  during  the  day,  sprang 
upon  him.  "Had  the  heavens  opened,"  whites  one  officer,  "  and  we  had 
been  seen  descending  from  the  clouds,  no  greater  consternation  would  have 
been  created."2  The  34th  Mass.  Infantry  (Col.  W.  S.  Lincoln)  formed  a 
part  of  the  first  attacking  force ;  then  Rickett's  division,  including  Battery 
A  of  the  1st  Mass.  Light  Artillery,  had  joined  it ;  then  came  the  rest 
of  the  6th  Corps,  including  parts  of  the  7th,  10th  and  37th  Mass. ;  and 
the  19th,  including  the  26th  and  38th.  These  troops,  "taking  up  the 
charge,  descended  into  the  ravine  of  Tumbling  Run,  with  a  headlong  rush 
over  fields,  walls,  rocks  and  felled  trees.  Making  their  way  across  the 
brook,  they  were  soon  scrambling  up  heights  that  it  had  seemed  madness 
to  attack,  while  Sheridan  and  his  admirable  staff  were  on  every  part  of  the 
line,  shouting  '  Forward,  forward  everything ! '  and  to  all  inquiries  for 
instruction  the  reply  was  still  '  Go  on  ;  don't  stop  ;  go  on  ! '  Formations 
were  little  heeded  in  the  rush,  but  the  whole  Confederate  line  broke  from 
its  trenches."3  General  Early  justly  sums  it  up,  "  My  whole  force  retired 
in  considerable  confusion."  In  this  sudden  attack  and  victory  few  men  fell. 

At  Tom's  Brook  (October  8,  9),  a  purely  cavalry  fight,  where  Sheridan 
directed  Torbert  to  set  off  at  daylight  and  whip  the  rebel  cavalry  or  get 
whipped  himself,  Lowell's  brigade,  including  his  own  regiment  (the  2d

Mass.  Cavalry),  were  engaged;  and  Torbert  wrote  afterwards  that  "the 
cavalry  totally  covered  themselves  with  glory,  and  added  to  their  list  vic 
tories  .  .  .  the  most  decisive  the  country  has  ever  witnessed."  They  capt 
ured  prisoners,  guns,  ambulances,  headquarters,  wagons,  "everything  on 
wheels,"  it  was  said ;  and  the  enemy  were  chased  twenty-six  miles.1  It 
was  after  this  that  the  joke  was  made  that  cannon  sent  from  Richmond  to 
the  Shenandoah  valley  were  marked  "P.  H.  Sheridan,  care  of  General 
Early."  Early  wrote  to  Lee,  "  the  fact  is,  that  the  enemy's  cavalry  is  so 
much  superior  to  ours,  both  in  numbers  and  equipment  .  .  .  that  it  is  im 
possible  for  ours  to  compete  with  it."  This  was  in  curious  contrast  with  the 
comparative  condition  of  the  two  forces  at  the  outset  of  the  war.  At  the 
easy  but  final  victory  of  Waynesboro',  March  2,  1865,  only  the  2d  Cavalry 
of  Massachusetts  troops  took  part,  with  small  loss. 

Early  took  Crook's  command  (Thoburn's  division)  completely  by  sur 
prise  October  13  at  Hupp's  Hill,  near  Strasburg,  throwing  shells  among 
them  while  they  were  eating  dinner,  with  guns  stacked.  Forming  hastily 
in  line,  they  encountered  him,  Wells's  brigade  (including  the  34th  Mass.) 
being  on  the  left.  Wells  was  obliged  at  length  to  retreat,  having  suffered 
severely ;  and  he  himself  was  mortally  wounded  and  fell  into  the  enemy's 
hands.  The  Union  troops  suffered  much  more  than  the  Confederates  from 
this  unexpected  attack,  although  both  sides  had  fought  well.  It  was  fol 
lowed  up  by  a  much  larger  surprise  and  attack,  leading  to  the  battle  of 
Cedar  Creek,  Oct.  19,  1864,  which  fell  also  at  first  on  the  same  division 
(Thoburn's),  still  including  the  34th  Mass. 

The  attempt  of  Early  to  surprise  and  overcome  the  vastly  superior  forces 
of  Sheridan  at  this  battle  is  pronounced  by  Irwin,  the  admirable  historian 
of  the  19th  Army  Corps,  to  have  been  one  of  exceptional  daring.  "  It  may 
be  doubted, "he  says,  "  whether  in  the  whole  history  of  war  an  instance  can 
be  found  of  any  similar  plan  so  carefully  and  successfully  arranged,  and  so 
completely  carried  out  in  detail,  up  to  the  moment."2  The  final  shock  fell 
on  Thoburn's  corps  early  in  the  morning,  with  such  complete  suddenness 
that  their  own  guns  were  immediately  turned  against  them,  and  every  part

SIIENANDOAH  CAMPAIGNS.  113 

of  the  army  was  steadily,  driven  back,  although  there  was  no  confusion  or 
general  breaking  up ;  the  men  held  to  their  colors  and1*  every  brigade  and 
regiment  retained  its  formation.  Thoburn  himself  was  killed. 

The  6th  Corps  (including  the  7th,  10th  and  37th  Mass.)  checked  for 
a  time  the  advance  of  the  enemy,  but  the  battle  closed  with  a  defeat  so 
complete  that  the  Union  force  had  been  driven  back  from  one  to  four  miles, 
when  the  sudden  arrival  of  Sheridan  turned  defeat  to  victory  and  gave  one 
of  the  most  striking  instances  in  all  history  of  the  extraordinary  power 
sometimes  condensed  into  a  single  man.  Sheridan  himself  thus  briefly 
describes  it,  in  his  despatch  to  Grant :  "I  hastened  to  Winchester,  where  I 
was  on  my  return  from  Washington,  and  found  the  armies  between  Middle- 
town  and  Newton,  having  been  driven  back  four  miles.  I  here  took  the 
affair  in  hand  and  quickly  united  the  corps,  —  formed  a  compact  line  of  battle 
just  in  time  to  repulse  an  attack  of  the  enemy."1  But  a  more  vivid  descrip 
tion  is  that  of  Col.  B.  W.  Crowninshield  of  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry:  "One 
thing  struck  me  as  curious ,  —  that  the  stream  of  men  was  now  going 
towards  Middletown.  Astonished,  I  left  Wheaton  and  galloped  over  to 
the  pike,  where  I  learned  that  Sheridan  had  just  passed  up,  —  as  well  as 
can  be  ascertained,  it  was  half-past  eleven  o'clock, — and  directly  after, 
meeting  General  Forsyth,  chief  of  staff,  I  received  orders  to  go  to  New- 
town,  form  a  guard,  and  collect  all  the  stragglers  I  could  and  bring  them 
up  to  the  front.  This  I  proceeded  to  do,  and  finally  collected  about  two 
thousand  men  of  all  corps,  and  brought  them  up  and  turned  them  over  to 
the  command  of  General  Crook,  then  on  our  extreme  left  and  rear.  From 
the  time  the  6th  Corps  became  engaged,  at  about  9  A.M.,  until  Sheridan 
came  up,  about  noon,  the  attacks  of  the  enemy  were  on  the  whole  feeble 
and  ineffective  .  .  .  Sheridan  rode  along  his  line,  seeing  for  himself  all 
his  troops,  and  saying  a  word  or  two  as  he  went  along  to  encourage  them, 
to  which  they  responded  with  cheers." 

As  a  result,  all  that  had  been  captured  was  recaptured,  except  the  1,429 
prisoners  whom  Early  had  sent  to  the  rear,  these  being  balanced  by  some 
1,200  taken  by  Sheridan,  with  twenty-four  guns,  fifty-six  ambulance  and 
many  battle  flags.  The  losses  of  the  Massachusetts  regiments  were  con 
siderable,  especially  from  the  26th,  30th,  34th  and  38th  Infantry  and  the 
2d  and  3d  Cavalry.  They  included  Lieuts.  Lyman  James  of  the  3d  Cav-

airy,  Albert  L.  Tilden  of  the  26th  Infantry,  and  Geo.  F.  Whitcomb  of 
the  30th;  also  Maj.  W.  F.  Clark  of  the  30th.  No  loss,  however,  was  so 
deeply  felt  as  that  of  Col.  Charles  Russell  Lowell,  whose  commission  as 
brigadier-general  had  been  signed  that  day.  He  commanded  the  reserve 
or  regular  brigade,  which  had  held  during  the  morning,  dismounted,  a  stone 
wall  from  which  it  could  not  be  displaced.  Sheridan  himself  said  of  him  : 
"  I  do  not  think  there  was  a  quality  which  I  could  have  added  to  Lowell. 
He  was  the  perfection  of  a  man  and  of  a  soldier."1  Gen.  Merritt,  com 
manding  the  First  Cavalry  division,  wrote  of  him  :  "  His  fall  cast  a  gloom 
on  the  entire  command.  No  one  in  the  field  appreciated  his  worth  more 
than  his  division  commander.  He  was  wounded  painfully  in  the  early  part 
of  the  day,  soon  after  which  I  met  him ;  he  was  suffering  acutely  from  his 
wound,  but  to  ask  him  to  leave  the  field  was  to  insult  him,  almost ;  a  more 
gallant  soldier  never  buckled  a  sabre.  His  coolness  and  judgment  on  the 
field  were  unequalled.  .  .  .  Young  in  years,  he  died  too  early  for  his 
country,  leaving  a  brilliant  record  for  future  generations,  ending  a  career 
which  gave  bright  promise  of  yet  greater  future  usefulness  and  glory." 2  The 
2d  Mass.  Cavalry,  as  a  part  of  Lowell's  command,  had  acted  as  rear  guard 
during  Sheridan's  retreat  from  Cedar  Creek  to  Strasburg,  and  had  sustained 
some  losses  in  killed  and  prisoners.  Again  it  took  part  in  a  skirmish  at 
Berryville,  Sept.  3,  1864,  and  sustained,  with  the  34th  Infantry,  some 
slight  losses.  Again  at  Waynesboro',  September  28,  when  Torbert's  cav 
alry  corps  was  superintending  the  destruction  of  a  railway  bridge,  having 
burned  the  station,  it  was  attacked  by  a  portion  of  Early 's  force,  and  the 
2d  Mass.  Cavalry  lost  some  killed  and  prisoners. 

XXV.      THE   FINAL    CAMPAIGN   IN   VIRGINIA. 

We  now  pass  to  the  great  campaign  of  the  war,  and  to  battles  which 
dwarfed  all  that  had  preceded,  for  the  Massachusetts  troops  as  for  all  others. 
In  1864  Congress  had  passed  a  bill  reviving  the  grade  of  lieutenant-gen 
eral,  and  it  had  been  conferred  at  once  upon  General  Grant  by  President 
Lincoln,  the  two  meeting  for  the  first  time  when  the  commission  was 
conferred.3

The  first  great  battle  of  the  campaign  was  the  battle  of  the  Wilderness 
(May  5-7,  1864),  and  it  was,  very  fortunately,  almost  unique  of  its  kind. 
It  was  not,  like  the  later  contests,  an  affair  of  entrenchments  ;  cavalry  had 
no  important  share  in  it,  artillery  little ;  it  came  as  near  as  the  invention 
of  gunpowder  permitted  to  the  earliest  form  of  hand-to-hand  fighting.  No 
description  of  the  merely  confused  and  chaotic  side  of  war  by  Tolstoi  or 
Zola  or  Crane  equals  the  simplest  soldier's  narration  of  the  Battle  of  the 
Wilderness.  It  was,  in  Swinton's  phrase,  "  a  collision  of  brute  masses."1 
Once  begun,  it  soon  lost  almost  the  semblance  of  military  formation.  Men 
could  not  see  their  own  officers,  keep  in  their  own  ranks  or  even  know 
whom  they  were  fighting.  In  the  dense  woods  portions  of  regiments  fired 
into  one  another.  Badeau  describes  the  region  as  "  one  tangled  mass  of 
stunted  evergreen,  dwarf  chestnut,  oak  and  hazel,  with  an  undergrowth  of

A  wrestle  as  blind  as  at  midnight ;  a  gloom  that  made  manoeuvres  imprac

THE  FINAL  CAMPAIGN  IX   VIRGINIA.  117 

by  turns,  firing  sometimes  into  their  own  ranks,  and  guided  often  only  by 
the  crackling  of  the  bushes  or  the  cheers  and  cries  that  arose  from  the 
depths  around."  Gen.  F.  A.  Walker,  who  was  also  in  it,  after  endorsing 
this  description  by  quoting  it,  adds  :  "Of  those  that  survived,  nianv  had 
not  beheld  an  enemy,  yet  the  tangled  forest  had  been  alive  with  flying 
missiles  ;  the  whistling  of  the  bullets  had  been  incessant ;  the  very  trees 
seemed  peopled  by  spirits  that  shrieked  and  groaned  during  those  hours  of 
mortal  combat."1  He  adds:  "All  the  peculiar  advantages  of  the  Army 
of  the  Potomac  were  sacrificed  in  the  jungle  fighting  into  which  they  were 
thus  called." 

In  this  battle,  so  remote  from  the  modern  type  of  contest  (with  its 
tactics,  its  entrenchments,  its  long-range  firing  and  its  smokeless  powder), 
twenty-three  Massachusetts  infantry  regiments  were  engaged,  with  losses  in 
killed  and  mortally  wounded  varying  from  ninety-four  to  one,  and  making 
in  the  aggregate  nearly  five  hundred.  The  regiment  suffering  the  severest 
loss  was  the  57th,  or  "Second  Veteran"  Regiment,  under  Col.  W.  F. 
Bartlett,  and  that  having  the  smallest  the  13th,  which  had  taken  elsewhere 
its  ample  share.  The  57th  took  into  battle,  according  to  Fox's  tables,  545, 
and  had  94  killed  or  mortally  wounded,  this  being  17  per  cent.,  or  the 
largest  among  all  the  regiments  engaged.2  The  others  were  the  1st,  7th, 
9th,  10th,  llth,  12th,  15th,  16th,  18th,  19th,  20th,  21st,  22d,  28th,  32d, 
36th,  37th,  39th,  56th,  58th  and  59th.  Those  suffering  most  seriously, 
after  the  57th,  were  the  37th,  9th,  20th  and  10th,  in  the  order  here  given.3 
The  35th  Mass.  Infantry  was  detailed  as  a  guard  for  the  supply  trains,  and 
met  with  no  loss,  as  was  also  the  case  with  the  3d,  5th,  9th,  10th  and  llth 
light  batteries,  which  were  also  engaged.  In  this  battle  Col.,  afterwards 
Gen.,  W.  F.  Bartlett  was  very  severely  wounded  in  the  head,  and  did  not 
again  return  to  his  regiment ; 4  and  among  the  killed  or  mortally  wounded 
in  the  regiment  were  Capt.  J.  W.  Gird  and  Second  Lieut.  J.  M.  Childs,  both 
of  Worcester.  Other  Massachusetts  officers  killed  or  mortally  wounded

whole  army.     (Fox,  p.  8.)

were  Maj.  Henry  L.  Abbott  (20th  Mass.),  of  whom  General  Hancock  said  : 
"  This  brilliant  young  officer,  by  his  courageous  conduct  in  action,  the  high 
state  of  discipline  in  his  regiment  and  his  devotion  to  duty  at  all  times, 
had  obtained  the  highest  reputation  among  his  commanding  officers.  His 
loss  was  greatly  deplored."1  Capt.  Joseph  S.  Hills  and  Lieut.  J.  U. 
Woodfin  (16th  Mass.)  ;  Capt.  J.  A.  Mclntyre  and  C.  P.  Smith  (28th 
Mass.)  ;  Col.  C.  E.  Griswold  (56th  Mass.)  ;  Lieut. -Col.  David  Allen,  Jr. 
(12th  Mass.)  ;  Capts.  J.  W.  McNamara,  W.  A.  Phelan,  Lieuts.  C.  B.  Mc- 
Ginnisken  and  N.  C.  Flaherty  (9th  Mass.)  ;  A.  W.  Midgley  and  W.  A. 
Ashley  (10th  Mass.)  ;  and  Joseph  Stuart  (13th  Mass.)  were  all  killed  or 
mortally  wounded  in  the  Battle  of  the  Wilderness.2  For  "gallantry  in 
action"  in  this  battle  Color-Sergeant  Leopold  Karpeles  (Co.  E,  5 7th  Mass.) 
received  a  medal  of  honor. 

Near  Port  Walthal,  Va.  (May  6-7),  the  23d,  25th  and  27th  Mass.  In 
fantry  were  engaged,  and  at  Todd's  Tavern  (May  4,  7)  the  1st  Cavalry, 
but  with  small  losses  ;  these  being  only  preliminary  to  the  next  great 
battle,  that  of  Spotsylvania  (May  8-18).  In  this  prolonged  and  intermit 
tent  battle,  the  very  heaviest  casualties  of  all  —  including  both  killed  and 
wounded — came,  with  one  exception,  upon  the  1st  Mass.  Heavy  Artil 
lery.  Its  casualties  (390)  were  exceeded  only  by  those  of  the  1st  Maine 
Heavy  Artillery  (481),  no  infantry  regiment  rising  above  301.  The  two 
Massachusetts  infantry  regiments  attaining  very  high  record  in  both  re 
gards  were  the  39th  (Robinson's  division,  5th  Corps)  and  the  32d  (Grif 
fin's  division,  5th  Corps)  ;  while  several  regiments  exceeded  the  latter  in 
killed  and  mortally  wounded  alone,  namely,  the  22d,  9th,  37th,  57th,  28th 
and  56th. 

At  the  formidable  defence  of  the  once-captured  "  Salient,"  or  "  Bloody 
Angle,"  it  was  claimed  for  the  brigade  of  Col.  Oliver  Edwards  (37th  Mass. 
Infantry)  that  it  fought  longer  than  any  other  brigade  of  the  6th  Corps ; 
and  for  the  37th  Mass.  Infantry  —  one  of  two  Massachusetts  regiments 
in  that  brigade,  the  other  being  the  10th  —  that  it  was  in  action  contin 
uously  for  more  than  twenty  hours,  during  which  time  it  fired  more  than 
four  hundred  rounds  per  man.  At  one  time  the  guns  became  so  foul  that

they  could  be  used  no  longer,  when  they  were  exchanged  for  guns  of 
another  regiment.1  General  McAllister's  Brigade  of  the  Fourth  Division, 
including  the  1st  and  16th  Mass.  Infantry,  also  took  a  most  active  part.2 

General  Hancock  in  his  report  speaks  of  the  ' '  magnificent  charge " 
made  by  Birney's  and  Barlow's  division  on  the  12th  of  May,  and  says,  "  it 
stands  unsurpassed  for  daring,  courage  and  brilliant  success."3  These 
divisions  included,  as  will  be  seen  by  referring  to  the  list  of  regiments, 
many  Massachusetts  organizations.  In  his  report  of  flags  captured,  he 
mentions  First  Sergeant  S.  G.  Viall  and  Sergeant  Daniel  Murphy  (both 
of  19th  Mass.)  as  each  capturing  a  flag.4  The  latter  received  a  medal  of 
honor  soon  after.  Private  F.  M.  Whitman  (Co.  G,  35th  Mass.)  also  re 
ceived  one,  ten  years  later,  "for  distinguished  services  in  action  at  An- 
tietam  and  Spotsylvania."  The  second  brigade  of  Barlow's  division  in  the 
2d  Army  Corps,  that  division  which,  according  to  Gen.  F.  A.  Walker, 
"made  skirmishing  a  profession,"5  included  the  28th  Mass.,  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Cartwright.  One  of  the  most  distinguished  division  commanders 
(in  the  6th  Corps)  was  Brig. -Gen.  David  A.  Russell  of  Massachusetts ; 
while  another  (in  the  9th  Corps)  was  Brig. -Gen.  T.  G.  Stevenson ;  and 
among  the  brigade  commanders  were  Brig. -Gen.  H.  L.  Eustis,  Col.  N.  A. 
Miles  and  S.  H.  Leonard,  all  of  Massachusetts.  Col.  N.  A.  Miles  won  at 
this  battle  his  promotion  as  brigadier-general,6  and  "  among  regimental  com 
manders  Col.  William  Blaisdell  of  the  llth  Mass.  Infantry  deserves  especial 
mention  for  unflinching  determination  in  holding  his  line  against  the  most 
desperate  assaults."7 

The  most  distinguished  Massachusetts  officer  killed  at  Spotsylvania  was 
Brig. -Gen.  Thomas  Greely  Stevenson,  originally  colonel  of  the  24th 
Mass.  Infantry,  who  had  served  with  distinction  in  North  and  South  Caro 
lina,  and  was  at  the  time  of  his  death  in  command  of  the  First  Division  of 
the  9th  Army  Corps.  Another  important  officer  who  fell  was  Lieut. -Col. 
Waldo  Merriam  of  the  16th  Mass.  Infantry,  who  had  rendered  valuable  ser-

vice  as  field-officer  of  the  day  in  Birney's  division,  a  "brave  and  able" 
soldier,  in  Hancock's  phrase.1  On  earlier  days  of  the  prolonged  conflict 
Lieut.  G.  B.  Simonds  of  the  15th  Mass,  had  fallen,  with  Lieuts.  Edward 
Sturgess  and  L.  E.  Hibbard,  of  the  20th.  On  May  12  died  Capt.  M.  H. 
Warren  of  the  1st  Mass.  Infantry  and  Lieut.  J.  J.  Ferris  of  the  19th ;  on 
May  18  Maj.  A.  J.  Lawler  and  Capts.  James  Magner  and  W.  F.  Cochrane 
of  the  28th  Mass.  In  the  contest  of  the  heavy  artillery  regiments  on  May 
19  among  the  killed  or  mortally  wounded  were  Maj.  F.  A.  Kolfe,  Capts. 
W.  G.  Thompson  and  A.  A.  Davis  and  Lieuts.  Edward  Graham  and 
Charles  Carroll.  All  these  officers,  with  multitudes  of  enlisted  men  whose 
names  would  now  be  difficult  even  to  enumerate  and  impossible  to  print, — 
nearly  five  hundred  in  all,  —  were  the  victims  of  Spotsylvania,  a  battle 
which  brought  to  Massachusetts  the  heaviest  losses  of  the  war,  those  of 
the  Wilderness  being  next.2  It  was  as  full  of  hand-to-hand  contests  as 
the  Wilderness,  not,  however,  among  trees,  but  among  fortifications ;  a 
battle  where  men  were  crowded  so  close  that  they  touched  each  other  over 
breastworks  and  sometimes  drew  one  another  bodily  over ;  one  in  which 
they  shot  and  stabbed  each  other  through  the  crevices  of  the  works ; 
where  dead  bodies  were  piled  three  or  four  deep,  the  one  upon  the  other, 
and  where  thick  trees  were  actually  cut  down  by  the  rain  of  bullets.3 

Other  officers  killed  at  Spotsylvania,  or  in  the  various  engagements 
which  were  a  part  of  it,  were  Lieuts.  Henry  W.  Nichols  (7th  Mass. 
Infantry),  James  O'Neil  and  Archibald  Simpson  (9th  Mass.)  ;  Maj.  D.  F. 
Parker,  Capt.  J.  H.  Wetherell  and  Lieuts.  E.  B.  Bartlett  and  A.  E.  Mun- 
yan  (10th  Mass.)  ;  Capt.  J.  S.  Stoddard  and  Lieuts.  E.  J.  Kidder  and 
William  Robinson  (12th  Mass.)  ;  Lieuts.  C.  W.  Whitcomb  (13th  Mass.) 
and  G.  B.  Simonds  (15th  Mass.)  ;  Capts.  Benjamin  Davis  (22d  Mass.), 
Robert  Hamilton  (32d  Mass  )  and  S.  H.  Bailey  (36th  Mass.)  ;  Lieut.  H.

THE   FINAL   CAMPAIGN  IN  VIRGINIA.  121 

In  the  expedition  on  the  south  side  of  James  Eiver,  in  the  battle  of 
Swift  Creek  or  Arrowfield  Church,  May  9-10,  General  Heckman's  "  Star 
Brigade,"  including  several  Massachusetts  regiments,  had  an  extremely 
arduous  experience.  "  All  the  hardships  incident  to  four  days  and  nights 
under  a  drenching  rain,  without  shelter  of  any  kind,  so  close  to  the  enemy's 
lines  that  but  once  could  fires  be  built,  and  some  part  of  the  regiment  on 
picket  or  skirmishing  all  the  time,  were  borne  without  murmurs  or  com 
plaint."1  Outflanked  and  surrounded,  finally,  they  fired  until  their  ammu 
nition  was  gone,  then  charged  in  vain,  then  retreated  in  perfect  order.  At 
one  time  they  repulsed  a  charge  of  the  enemy,  during  which  the  25th  Mass. 
Infantry  and  the  25th  South  Carolina  found  themselves  face  to  face.  The 
25th  Mass,  lost  14  killed  (including  Lieut.  C.  E.  Upton),2  the  23d  and  27th 
also  losing,  while  the  40th  was  present  but  not  seriously  engaged.  At 
Ashland  (May  11)  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry,  being  detached  with  others  to 
make  a  sudden  attack  upon  Ashland  Station,  lost  6  killed,  including  Lieut. 
E.  P.  Hopkins  of  Williamstown.  At  Drewry's  Bluff  (May  12-16)  the 
"  Star  Brigade,"  with  the  4th  Cavalry  (1  battalion),  again  met  the  enemy, 
with  much  heavier  losses  than  at  Swift  Creek,  the  losses  falling  on  the  23d, 
24th,  25th,  27th  and  40th  Mass.  Infantry.  On  the  first  day  a  portion  of  the 
enemy's  line  of  defence  was  carried  with  small  loss  ;  on  the  16th  Butler  was 
forced  back  to  his  entrenchments,  the  Confederates  entrenching  strongly  in 
front,  thus  leaving  him  "bottled  up,"  in  Grant's  celebrated  phrase,  and  re 
quiring  but  a  small  force  of  the  enemy  to  keep  him  there.3 

"Warren's  and  Hancock's  fight  at  North  Anna"  (May  23-27,  1864), 
wrote  Gen.  M.  V.  MacMahon,  "had  been  fierce  but  ineffective,  resulting 
only  in  slaughter,  of  which,  as  usual,  a  sadly  disproportioned  share  was 
ours."4  This  loss  was,  however,  distributed  so  widely  over  many  regiments 
as  not  to  fall  very  heavily  on  any  one,  —  these  regiments  being  the  9th,  llth, 
12th,  19th,  20th,  22d,  32d,  35th,  36th,  39th,  56th,  57th,  58th  and  59th  In 
fantry  ;  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  and  the  9th  Battery.  Among  these  the

heaviest  loss  in  killed  and  mortally  wounded  fell  on  the  57th.  Other  regi 
ments  present  were  the  13th,  15th,  16th,  18th,  28th,  32d,  37th,  with  the  3d, 
5th,  10th,  llth,  14th  batteries,  some  of  these  having  a  few  wounded  but 
none  killed. 

In  the  efforts  to  cross  the  Totopotomoy  River  (May  29-31)  the  Massa 
chusetts  regiments  incurring  small  losses  in  killed  and  mortally  wounded 
were  the  15th,  16th,  19th,  21st,  22d,  28th,  32d  (the  largest  loss),  58th 
Infantry,  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  and  the  3d  Battery.  Other  regiments 
engaged  were  the  12th  and  20th,  with  the  9th  and  14th  batteries.  Capt. 
D.  C.  Mumford  (19th  Mass.)  was  among  the  killed. 

At  Bethesda  Church  (June  1-3),  —  the  action  of  the  right  wing  at  the 
terrible  Cold  Harbor,  —  the  largest  loss  fell  on  the  36th  Mass.  Infantry 
(17  killed,  33  wounded)  and  next  on  the  32d  and  on  the  21st;  but  also 
in  a  smaller  degree  on  the  9th,  12th,  13th,  22d,  29th,  35th,  56th  and 
57th  Infantry,  and  the  5th,  9th  and  10th  batteries.  The  19th,  20th, 
39th  and  58th  were  also  present,  with  the  llth  and  14th  batteries,  but 
without  loss. 

The  main  battle  of  Cold  Harbor  (June  3)1  was  perhaps  the  most  unavail 
ing,  as  it  was  the  most  desperate,  battle  of  this  Richmond  campaign.  Had 
the  Confederate  general  controlled  the  action  of  both  sides,  he  could  have 
hardly  had  the  battle  conducted  more  to  his  liking  than  it  was.  He  wished 
Grant  to  be  the  assaulting  party,  and  was  sure  of  his  own  entrenchments 
and  of  the  disposition  of  his  troops.  Burnside  at  Petersburg  hardly  under 
took  a  task  more  desperate,  nor  was  his  error  so  costly.  "  Out  of  the 
gray  dawn,  eighty  thousand  men  rush  forward  upon  the  enemy  in  his  en 
trenched  lines,  meet  with  a  bloody  repulse  and  retire  to  cover  themselves 
with  such  works  as  they  can  most  speedily  erect  to  hold  the  advanced 
ground  which  some  of  them  have  gained.  The  assault  has  failed  in  a  brief 
ten  minutes.  All  the  fighting  is  over  in  less  than  an  hour.  Eight  thousand 
men  have  fallen.  The  enemy  has  lost  but  a  tithe  of  this  number."2  Sad 
dest  of  all  was  the  vast  number  of  wounded  who  expired  in  the  narrow 
space  between  the  hostile  lines,  on  the  days  following  the  battle,  simply 
from  the  inability  of  their  own  friends  to  succor  them. 

In  this  battle  of  Cold  Harbor  the  most  formidable  loss  fell  on  the  25th 

1  Some  historians,  as  Fox,  treat  Bethesda  Church  and  Cold  Harbor  as  separate  engagements ;  others, 
like  Walker,  as  but  one  battle.    Fighting  continued  irregularly  for  twelve  days,  apart  from  the  unavailing 
special  assault  which  is  identified  in  history  with  that  day.

Mass.  Infantry,  which  reported  300  for  duty  that  morning  and  lost  69 
killed  or  mortally  wounded,  including  6  officers,  Capt.  Thos.  O'Neil, 
Lieuts.  Wm.  Daley,  Henry  McConville,  Henry  Matthews,  Chas.  H.  Pelton 
and  James  Graham ;  the  wounded  and  missing  making  up  the  total  list  of 
regimental  casualties  to  215,  —  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  whole  num 
ber.1  Another  regiment  suffering  heavily  was  the  58th  Mass.,  of  which 
Fox  says  that  it  "  moved  against  the  works  .  .  .  with  a  line  whose  steadi 
ness  and  precision  elicited  praises  from  all  who  saw  it,  winning  the  compli 
ments  of  both  brigade  and  division  commanders."2  It  lost  31  in  killed  and 
mortally  wounded,  including  Maj.  Barnabas  Ewer,  Jr.,  Capts.  Chas.  M. 
Upham  and  Thos.  McFarland,  with  Lieut.  W.  H.  Burbank ;  the  27th 
Mass,  losing  32,  including  its  major,  William  A.  Walker,  Capt.  E.  K. 
Wilcox,  Lieuts.  Frederick  C.  Wright,  Samuel  Morse  and  E.  H.  Coombs. 
The  28th  lost  fewer,  but  the  loss  included  its  colonel,  Richard  Byrnes, 
commanding  brigade,3  and  Lieut.  James  B.  West.  There  fell  also  Capts. 
J.  H.  Baxter  (22d  Mass.)  and  C.  F.  Pray  (18th  Mass.)  at  Bethesda 
Church,  Capt.  R.  J.  Cowdin  (56th  Mass.),  Lieut.-Col.  G.  E.  Marshall, 
Lieuts.  G.  C.  Bancroft  and  Edward  Carleton  (40th  Mass.),  John  B. 
Thompson  (19th  Mass.).  The  whole  loss  of  Massachusetts  officers  was 
not,  however,  more  than  two-thirds  as  great  as  at  Spotsylvania,  although 
considerably  larger  than  at  the  Wilderness.4 

General  Grant  recognized  frankly  that  the  charge  ordered  on  June  3 
at  Cold  Harbor  was  the  one  battle  which  he  thoroughly  regretted.5  He 
said:  "  Cold  Harbor  is,  I  think,  the  only  battle  I  would  not  fight  again 
under  the  circumstances,"  and  again  in  his  Personal  Memoirs:  "I  have 
always  regretted  that  the  last  assault  at  Cold  Harbor  was  ever  made." 
He  had  ordered  Meade  to  suspend  the  attack  whenever  it  should  prove 
clearly  hopeless,  and  the  heavy  fighting  lasted  less  than  an  hour;  but 
it  has  always  been  regarded  as  the  greatest  mistake  of  the  war  on  the 
Union  side.6

124  NARRATIVE. 


Other  regiments  losing  valuable  lives  were  the  7th,  10th,  llth,  13th, 
15th,  18th,  19th,  20th,  22d,  23d,  37th,  40th,  56th  and  59th  Infantry; 
the  1st  Heavy  Artillery,  and  the  1st,  5th  and  10th  batteries.  The  12th, 
16th,  35th,  36th,  39th,  57th  Infantry  and  the  3d  and  14th  batteries 
were  present  or  engaged,  but  without  loss  of  life.  Corp.  David  P.  Casey 
(Co.  C,  25th  Mass.)  received  a  medal  of  honor  for  his  bravery  at  this 
battle,  as  did  Corp.  Orlando  P.  Boss  (Co.  F,  25th  Mass.).  Lieut. -Col. 
Guy  Y.  Henry  (7th  United  States  Cavalry)  also  received  a  medal  "  for 
noteworthy  and  conspicuous  gallantry  while  colonel  of  40th  Mass.  Volun 
teers,  leading  the  assaults  of  his  brigade  upon  the  enemy's  works  at 
Cold  Harbor,  Ya.,  June  1,  1864,  where  he  had  two  horses  shot  under 
him,  one  while  in  the  act  of  leaping  over  the  breastworks  of  the  enemy." 

More  Massachusetts  regiments  were  engaged  in  the  first  assaults  on 
Petersburg  than  in  any  battle  of  the  war,  although  the  total  of  losses  wafs 
not  so  great  as  in  some  battles,  nor  did  any  single  regiment,  except  the 
1st  Heavy  Artillery,  lose  so  heavily ;  that  having  68  killed  or  mortally 
wounded  in  the  successive  assaults.  The  whole  number  of  organizations 
sustaining  losses  was  no  less  than  twenty-five.  This  included  the  10th, 
llth,  15th,  16th,  19th,  20th,  21st,  22d,  25th,  27th,  28th,  29th,  32d, 
36th,  37th,  39th,  40th,  56th,  57th,  58th,  59th  Infantry;  1st  Heavy 
Artillery,  and  5th,  9th  and  14th  batteries.  The  12th  and  18th  Infantry 
and  the  15th  Battery  were  also  in  the  battle.  The  56th  lost  21  killed 
or  mortally  wounded;  the  57th,  20;  the  27th,  19;  the  58th,  12;  and 
all  others  less. 

Among  the  killed  were  Col.  Geo.  L.  Prescott  (32d  Mass.),  Capts. 
Charles  Goss  (21st  Mass.),  Amos  Buifum  (36th  Mass.),  Lewis  P.  Caldwell 
(1st  Heavy  Artillery),  Samuel  A.  Bean  (59th  Mass.),  Lieut.  S.  G.  Gilbreth 
(1st  Sharpshooters),  J.  H.  Crawley  (56th  Mass.),  Edward  I.  Coe  (57th 
Mass.),  O.  L.  Farnhani  (1st  Heavy  Artillery). 

Among  the  prisoners  taken  by  the  Confederates  in  the  sharp  surprise 
at  the  Weldon  Railroad  (June  22)  was  included  the  15th  Mass.,  the  small 
remnant  of  which  was  captured  almost  bodily.1  In  this  disaster  Capt. 
Joseph  W.  Kimball,  1st  Mass.  Infantry,  lost  his  life,  and  on  the  day 
following  Col.  Wm.  Blaisdell,  llth  Mass.  Infantry,  who  had  distinguished 

i  "The  15th  Mass  ,  which,  after  losing  318  men,  had  emerged  from  the  woods  about  Bunker  Church, 
Sept.  17, 1862  (Antietam),  bearing  not  only  its  own  but  a  Confederate  color,  but  which  now,  a  mere  hand 
ful,  was  captured  almost  entire,  with  its  tattered  flag."  Walker,  2d  Army  Corps,  p..547. 


THE  FINAL  CAMPAIGN  IN  VIRGINIA.  125 

himself  at  Cold  Harbor,  and  indeed  everywhere  else,  was  killed  on  the 
skirmish  line ;  his  brevet  as  brigadier-general  being  afterwards  dated 
back  to  that  day. 

The  Massachusetts  troops  took  part  —  generally  by  one  or  two  regi 
ments  at  a  time  —  in  various  skirmishes  during  the  Petersburg  campaign, 
generally  with  small  loss ;  as  the  4th  Cavalry  near  Petersburg  (June  10), 
the  5th  Cavalry  at  Baylor's  Farm  (June  15),  the  1st  Cavalry  at  Samaria 
Church  (June  24),  a  detachment  of  the  2d  Cavalry  at  Aldie  (July  6), 
and  the  32d  Infantry  with  the  10th  Battery  in  reserve  at  Deep  Bottom 
(July  21).  A  more  important  affair,  also  at  Deep  Bottom,  occurred  on 
July  27-28,  when  the  28th  Mass.,  as  a  part  of  Barlow's  skirmish  line, 
under  command  of  Colonel  Lynch  (183d  Pa.)  and  under  the  immediate 
direction  of  General  Miles,  advanced  with  two  other  regiments  against 
entrenchments  held  by  both  infantry  and  artillery,  and  did  it  so  skill 
fully  as  to  carry  them  by  skirmishers  alone,  capturing  four  twenty-pound 
Parrott  guns.1  At  later  periods  of  the  fight  the  19th  and  20th  Mass, 
and  1st  Heavy  Artillery  were  in  action  with  small  loss,  and  the  llth  and 
26th  Infantry,  with  the  10th  Battery,  without  loss. 

In  the  terrible  disaster  of  the  Mine  (or  the  Crater)  at  Petersburg 
(July  30 )  it  is  rather  a  satisfaction  to  know  that  Massachusetts  had  but 
a  moderate  share.  It  is  one  of  the  few  affairs  which  seem  to  have  been 
so  thoroughly  mismanaged  that  the  friends  of  the  Union  cause  prefer 
to  pass  them  lightly  by.2 

1  "Never,  I  think,  did  men  of  the  2d  Corps  so  greatly  enjoy  riding  Confederate  cannon  into  cauip." 
Walker,  p.  563. 

2  "  The  wretched  fiasco  of  the  30th  of  July.  .  .  .  Had  adequate  arrangements  been  made  and  had  the 
troops  at  hand  been  put  in,  with  even  the  lowest  degree  of  vigor,  noon  of  that  day  must  have  seen 
Petersburg  in  our  power  and  a  third  of  Lee's  army  lopped  off  at  a  blow.  .  .  .  Had  the  division  assigned 
to  the  assault  been  properly  led,  it  could  have  gone  straight  to  the  crest  which  overlooked  the  enemy's 
works,  receiving  scarcely  a  shot  in  its  way.  But  neither  General  Ledlie,  the  commander  of  the  leading 
division,  nor  General  Ferrero,  commanding  the  first  supporting  division,  was  in  a  position  from  which  he 
could  see  either  the  enemy's  line  or  his  own  troops.  .  .  .  Never  before  or  after,  in  the  history  of  the 
Potomac  army,  was  such  an  exhibition  made  of  official  incapacity  or  personal  cowardice.  ...  At  the 
Mine  two  division  commanders  were  hiding  in  bomb-proofs,  while  their  troops  wandered  aimlessly  from 
lack  of  direction  or  halted  in  front  of  obstacles  which  a  single  manly  effort  would  have  overcome.  This 
unhappy  day  cost  the  Union  army  4,000  men."  (Walker's  2d  Army  Corps,  pp.  567-568.)  Maj.  J.  H. 
Powell,  U.  S.  A.,  who  was  one  of  General  Ledlie's  staff  at  the  Crater,  says  that  he  and  all  of  them  remained 
"  during  the  entire  engagement  in  or  near  a  bomb-proof  within  the  Union  lines."  (Century  War  Book,  IV, 
550.)  "  This  talk  and  these  orders,  coming  from  a  commander  sitting  in  a  bomb-proof  inside  the  Union 
lines,  was  disgusting."  (The  same,  p.  556.)  "  With  the  notable  exception  of  Gen.  Robert  B.  Potter,"  — 
a  Massachusetts  man,—  "there  was  not  a  division  commander  in  the  crater  or  connecting  lines,  nor  was 
there  a  corps  commander  on  the  immediate  scene  of  action."  (The  same,  p.  560.)  Two  other  very 
graphic  descriptions  of  the  scene  may  be  found  in  the  same  volume. 


126  NARRATIVE. 


The  Massachusetts  troops  actually  involved  in  the  attack  were  the  llth, 
21st,  29th,  35th,  40th,  56th,  57th,  58th  and  59th  Infantry  and  the  5th  Bat 
tery.  Of  these,  the  59th  suffered  most  in  prisoners  and  the  57th  in  killed ; 
but  none  of  these  sustained  such  heavy  losses  as  fell  upon  some  of  the 
newly  levied  colored  regiments  of  Ferrero's  Division.  Among  the  killed 
were  Lieut.  S.  G.  Berry  (35th  Mass.),  Capts.  George  H.  Howe  and  E.  T. 
Dresser  (57th  Mass.),  Lieut.  Clement  Granet  (58th  Mass.).  Gen.  W.  F. 
Bartlett  was  again  struck  by  a  shot  and  was  captured,  but  it  proved  to 
be  only  his  wooden  leg  that  was  shattered,  although  this  was  not  at  first 
discovered  by  the  sympathizing  soldiers  who  undertook  to  bear  him  away. 

In  the  third  battle  of  Deep  Bottom,  Ya.  (Aug.  14-18,  1864),  the 
attacking  brigade  was  led  in  the  most  gallant  manner  by  Col.  George  N. 
Macy  of  the  20th  Mass.,  who  had  returned  that  day  from  his  Wilderness 
wounds,  and  had  here  two  horses  shot  under  him,  being  severely  injured 
by  the  falling  of  one  of  these.1  There  was  heavy  skirmishing  and  some 
alternate  success  and  defeat.  General  Miles  of  Massachusetts  finally  suc 
ceeded  General  Barlow,  who  had  never  recovered  from  his  terrible  wounds 
at  Antietam  and  Gettysburg,  and  had  to  resign  the  command  of  his  divi 
sion  on  the  18th,  though  he  attempted  a  few  days  later,  unsuccessfully,  to 
resume  it,  and  had  to  be  carried  from  the  field  on  a  stretcher.2 

At  Deep  Bottom  the  Confederates  remained  in  possession  of  the  field. 
The  Massachusetts  regiments  sustaining  casualties  at  this  battle  were 
the  llth,  19th,  20th,  24th,  28th  Infantry,  the  1st  Cavalry  and  the  1st 
Heavy  Artillery.  Of  these,  the  24th  lost  most  heavily  (31  killed  or 
mortally  wounded).  Among  the  officers  killed  were  Maj.  H.  L.  Patten3 
(20th  Mass.),  Capt.  Patrick  Nolan  (28th  Mass.),  Lieuts.  William  Thorne 
and  Jesse  S.  Williams  (24th  Mass.). 

1  Walker's  2d  Corps,  p.  573.    Colonel  Macy  had  also  lost  a  hand  at  Gettysburg.    General  Barlow  says 
in  his  report :  "  None  of  the  troops  that  came  under  my  eye  that  day  behaved  with  their  usual  vigor  and 
gallantry  under  fire.    Had  they  done  so,  the  almost  undefended  line  of  rifle-pits  might  easily  have  been 
carried.    I  desire,  however,  to  commend  the  great  gallantry  and  good  behavior  of  Colonel  Macy.  ...  He 
did  everything  that  a  brave  man  and  a  soldier  could  do."     (Official  War  Records,  87,  p  248  ) 

2  This  distinguished  officer  has  often  been  claimed  as  a  Massachusetts  man,  and  certainly  came  very 
near  being  such.    His  mother  was  born  in  Massachusetts  and  had  chiefly  resided  there,  even  after  her 
marriage,  though  not  just  at  the  time  of  his  birth;  and  the  son  had  been  almost  wholly  educated  there. 

3  Major  Patten  had  been  previously  wounded  at  Nelson's  Farm,  Va.,  and  twice  at  Gettysburg.    He 
was  brevetted  lieutenant-colonel,  colonel  and  brigadier-general  some  months  after  death.     (See  his  memoir 
in  Harvard  Memorial  Biographies,  I,  443.)     Good  reports  of  the  share  of  the  24th  Mass,  by  Col.  F.  A. 
Osborn  and  Capt  G.  W.  Gardner  will  be  found  in  Official  War  Records,  87,  pp.  754-57.    A  general  report 
by  Colonel  Pickett  (25th  Mass  )  will  be  found  at  p.  809. 


THE  FINAL  CAMPAIGN  IN  VIRGINIA.  127 


In  the  attack  on  the  Weldon  Railroad,  below  Petersburg,  under  General 
Warren  (August  18-21),  the  Massachusetts  troops  engaged  were  the  18th, 
21st,  29th,  32d,  35th,  36th,  39th,  56th,  57th  and  59th  Infantry,  the  1st 
Cavalry  and  the  3d,  5th,  9th  and  llth  batteries,  almost  all  incurring  small 
losses  and  the  39th  suffering  especially  with  17  killed  or  mortally  wounded 
and  246  missing,  mostly  prisoners.  Lieutenant-Colonel  Peirson  was 
severely  wounded,  leaving  Capt.  F.  R.  Kinsley  in  command  of  the  39th, 
who  was  himself  made  prisoner  a  day  or  two  later.  Lieut.  Wm.  T. 
Spear  was  mortally  wounded.  Lieut.  Horace  M.  Warren,  adjutant  of  the 
59th,  was  also  killed,  with  Capt.  J.  W.  Ingell  (15th  Mass.)  and  Lieuts. 
Robert  T.  Bourne  (22d  Mass.)  and  A.  J.  White  (35th  Mass.).1  A  small 
battalion  of  recruits  and  re-enlisted  men,  formerly  belonging  to  the  18th 
Mass.,  captured  50  prisoners  and  a  flag. 

At  Summit  Point,  Ya.,  the  37th  Mass.  Infantry  had  a  picket  skirmish 
with  some  loss  (August  21),  and  at  Reams'  Station  (August  23-25)  the 
28th  Infantry  and  the  10th  Battery  lost  some  lives  and  the  latter  19 
prisoners.  Prisoners  were  also  taken  from  the  19th  and  20th  Infantry. 

At  Poplar  Spring  Church  or  Peebles'  Farm  (September  30-October  1) 
the  small  remaining  band  of  the  18th  Mass,  again  did  itself  credit,  its  cap 
tain,  Luther  S.  Bent  of  Quincy,  commanding  the  skirmish  line  and  being 
bre vetted  as  major  "  for  gallant  and  distinguished  services  at  the  battle  of 
Peebles'  Farm."  The  35th  Mass,  had  the  largest  number  of  killed  and 
mortally  wounded  at  this  battle,  besides  156  taken  prisoners.  The  llth, 
21st,  29th,  32d,  36th,  56th,  57th,  58th  and  59th  also  had  casualties. 
Among  the  killed  were  Capts.  C.  H.  Johnson  (58th  Mass.)  and  O.  S.  Samp 
son  (21st),  and  Lieut.  J.  W.  Fiske  (58th  Mass.).  At  Arthur's  Swamp, 
Ya.,  on  the  same  day,  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry  had  a  skirmish;  as  had  the 
40th  Mass,  at  Chapin's  Farm,  where  Lieut.  J.  A.  Fitch  was  killed  (Novem 
ber  30)  ;  and  also  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  at  Yellow  Tavern  (October  1-5)  ; 
the  24th  Infantry  and  4th  Cavalry  at  Darbytown  Roads  (October  7  and 
again  October  13)  ;  while  the  57th  made  a  reconnoissance  to  Boydtown 
Plank  Road  (October  8)  ;  all  with  small  losses. 

At  Hatcher's  Run,  Ya.  (Oct.  27,  1864),  in  connection  with  the  Boyd 
town  Plank  Road  movement,  took  place  a  contest  in  which  the  action  of  the

128  NARRATIVE. 


10th  Mass.  Battery  (Lieutenant  Granger)  was,  according  to  the  historian 
of  the  2d  Army  Corps,  "  unusually  spirited  ;  "l  and  it  lost  its  commanding 
officer,  Lieut.  H.  H.  Granger;  Lieut.  Asa  Smith,  U.  S.  A.  (4th  U.  S. 
Artillery),  who  was  detailed  to  take  his  place,  also  fell.  Capts.  D.  A. 
Granger  and  Alexander  McTavish,  both  of  the  llth  Mass.  Infantry,  were 
also  killed.  The  llth  was  also  actively  engaged  (November  5)  in  repel 
ling  an  attack  on  the  picket  line,  and  was  warmly  praised  by  Col.  E. 
MacAllister,  commanding  brigade,  who  especially  complimented  its  adju 
tant,  Lieut.  Michael  Boucher.2  The  19th,  20th,  57th,  59th  Infantry,  1st 
Cavalry  (at  Dinwiddie  Court  House)  and  llth  Battery  were  also  engaged, 
but  with  small  losses.  The  32d,  35th  and  36th  Infantry  and  the  5th  and  9th 
batteries  were  also  present,  but  not  seriously  engaged. 

On  the  Weldon  Eailroad  expedition  of  December  7  and  11  the  Massa 
chusetts  regiments  engaged  (but  without  loss)  were  the  llth,  32d,  39th  In 
fantry,  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  and  the  5th  and  llth  batteries  ;  while  the 
1st  Cavalry  lost  one  man  at  Three  Creeks. 

At  Dabney's  Mills  (Hatcher's  Run),  Feb.  5-7,  1865,  the  10th  Mass. 
Battery  also  distinguished  itself,  repelling  three  Confederate  charges  within 
an  hour,  and  firing  nearly  three  hundred  rounds,  but  without  casualty  be 
yond  the  loss  of  three  horses.  The  llth,  19th,  20th,  32d  Infantry  lost 
men,  though  not  largely,  the  37th  having  several  wounded.  Lieut.  W.  H. 
Tibbetts  (19th  Mass.)  fell  at  this  time. 

At  the  daring  assault  of  the  Confederates  under  Lieutenant-General 
Gordon  on  Fort  Stedman  (March  25,  1865),  capturing  the  fort  by  surprise 
almost  without  a  struggle,  but  being  driven  out  again,  several  Massachu 
setts  regiments  were  involved,  the  29th  and  57th  Infantry  suffering  most, 
but  the  14th  Battery  somewhat,  especially  in  prisoners,  many  prisoners 
being,  however,  taken  on  the  Union  side,  though  General  McLaughlen, 
brigade  commander,  was  among  those  captured  by  the  Confederates. 
Lieut.  E.  B.  Nye  (14th  Mass.  Battery)  was  killed  after  refusing  to  sur 
render;  and  Maj.  James  Doherty  and  Lieut.  A.  M.  Murdock  (57th  Mass.), 
with  Lieut.  Nathaniel  Bumpus  (29th  Mass.),  were  also  killed.  The  29th 
Mass,  was  peculiarly  fortunate  in  receiving  medals  of  honor  for  this  affair.

THE  FINAL   CAMPAIGN  IN  VIRGINIA.  129 

Maj.  J.  M.  Deane  received  one  "for  most  distinguished  gallantry  in  action 
at  Fort  Stedman,  in  serving  with  other  volunteers  a  gun  previously  silenced 
and  abandoned,  mounted  on  barbette  at  Fort  Haskell,  being  exposed  to  a 
galling  fire  from  the  enemy's  sharpshooters."  Sergeant  William  H.  Howe, 
Co.  K,  received  a  medal  of  honor  "for  distinguished  gallantry"  in  this 
action,  and  Color  Sergeant  Conrad  Homan  (Co.  A)  of  the  same  regiment 
had  previously  received  one  ' «  for  fighting  his  way  through  the  enemy's 
lines  with  regimental  colors  near  Petersburg,  Va.,  July  30,  1864,"  as  had 
Private  J.  H.  Harbourne  (Co.  K)  for  the  capture  of  a  flag,  and  Private 
Richard  Welch  (37th  Mass.),  also  for  the  capture  of  a  flag,  a  few  days 
later,  and  Private  Chas.  A.  Taggart  (37th  Mass.)  for  the  same. 

The  28th  Mass.  Infantry  and  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  met  with  losses, 
which  in  the  former  case  were  considerable,  at  Duncan's  Run  (March  25), 
and  the  32d  and  34th  Infantry  with  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  had  small  losses 
on  the  Boydtown  Road  (March  29-31),  as  had  the  39th  at  Gravelly  Run 
(March  29).  At  Dinwiddie  Court  House  (March  29-31)  and  at  Five 
Forks  (April  1)  the  2d  Mass.  Cavalry  took  an  honorable  part,  as  did  —  at 
the  latter  engagement  —  the  32d  and  39th  Mass.  Infantry.  Such  was  also 
the  case  with  the  28th  and  39th  at  the  South  Side  Railroad,  near  Petersburg. 

In  the  final  capture  of  Petersburg,  Va.  (April  2,  1865),  several  Massa 
chusetts  regiments  were  engaged  with  losses, — the  19th,  34th,  35th,  36th, 
37th,  46th,  58th  and  61st  Infantry,  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  and  the  5th 
Battery.  The  20th  and  57th  Infantry  and  the  9th,  10th  and  14th  were  also 
engaged,  but  without  loss.  The  most  conspicuous  part  was  perhaps  that 
taken  by  the  61st  Infantry  (Colonel  Walcott),  the  very  last  regiment  to 
leave  the  State,  serving  primarily  as  an  engineer  regiment,  and  now  in 
its  first  battle.  The  Confederates  having  lost  and  retaken  Fort  Mahone, 
the  61st  carried  it,  as  far  as  the  parapet,  and,  holding  on  till  after  dark,  its 
skirmishers  then  discovered  the  main  fort  to  be  abandoned,  as  also  were 
Petersburg  and  Richmond  the  next  day.  The  61st  lost  7  killed  and  mor 
tally  wounded,  among  whom  was  Lieut.  Thomas  B.  Hart.  Lieut.  Lewis 
Hunger  (2d  Mass.  Cavalry)  was  killed  a  day  or  two  previous,  as  was  Lieut. 
Samuel  Storrow  (2d  Infantry)  at  Black  Creek,  N.  C.,  on  March  16,  1865. 

In  the  subsequent  race  for  final  victory  between  the  winning  army 
and  that  already  practically  defeated,  the  Massachusetts  troops  took  their 
full  share.  At  Fort  Blakeley  (April  2-9)  the  31st  Infantry  and  the  2d, 


130  NARRATIVE. 


4th,  7th  and  15th  batteries  were  engaged,  with  a  loss  of  one  man  in  the  7th. 
At  Sailor's  Creek  (April  6)  the  37th  Infantry  lost  considerably,  but  the 
19th,  20th  and  28th  Infantry,  the  2d  Cavalry  and  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery 
escaped  without  loss  of  life.  At  High  Bridge  (April  6)  the  10th  Battery 
had  no  loss,  but  the  4th  Cavalry  (Col.  Francis  Washburn),  with  a  force  of 
only  12  officers  and  67  men,  was  surrounded  by  the  Confederate  cavalry, 
under  Generals  Rosser  and  Fitzhugh  Lee,  and,  after  once  cutting  their  way 
through,  returned  to  the  defence  of  two  infantry  regiments  which  had 
accompanied  them.  Gen.  Theodore  Reed,  commanding  the  expedition, 
was  killed,  and  Colonel  Washburn  mortally  wounded,  Capts.  W.  T. 
Hodges  and  John  D.  B.  Goddard,  with  First  Lieut.  George  F.  Davis, 
being  also  killed,  and  most  of  the  men  killed,  wounded  or  captured. 
The  results  of  the  contest  were,  however,  of  great  importance  in  checking 
the  Confederates  and  leading  to  Lee's  final  surrender.  Meanwhile,  on 
April  3,  Cos.  E  and  H,  1st  Mass.  Cavalry,  under  Maj.  A.  H.  Stevens, 
Jr.,  were  the  first  troops  to  enter  Richmond  on  the  day  of  its  evacuation ; 
Major  Stevens  having  received  the  surrender  of  the  city  and  personally 
hoisting  the  guidons  of  his  squadron  over  the  State  House.1 

On  April  6,  at  Rice's  Station,  the  34th  Infantry  had  its  last  man  killed 
(out  of  many),  and  at  Farmville  (April  7,  8)  the  19th,  20th  and  28th 
Infantry,  the  1st  Heavy  Artillery  and  the  10th  Battery  were  present,  but 
without  losses  on  the  field,  though  Capt.  Isaac  H.  Boyd  (19th  Mass.)  died 
of  wounds  received  there.  This  was  for  Massachusetts  troops  the  last 
battle  of  the  great  Virginia  campaign.  On  April  9  came  the  surrender  at 
Appomattox. 

In  the  first  attack  on  Fort  Fisher  (Dec.  25,  1864)  Massachusetts  can 
hardly  be  said  to  have  taken  part,  and  at  the  second  attack  (Jan.  15, 
1865)  no  Massachusetts  troops  can  be  said  to  have  participated.  It  was  in 
itself,  however,  an  aifair  of  great  importance,  this  being  the  largest  and 
strongest  earthwork  constructed  by  the  Confederacy,  and  absolutely  essen 
tial  to  it  at  last,  through  the  protection  given  to  Wilmington,  the  chief 
blockade-running  port.2  Much  blame  has  been  cast  upon  a  Massachusetts

must  be  held  or  he  could  not  subsist  his  army."      (Narrative  of  Col.  Wm.  Lamb  in  Century  War 
Book,  IV.  642.)

commander,  Maj.-Gen.  B.  F.  Butler,  for  his  decision  that  the  fort  was 
impregnable ;  but  we  have  the  authoritative  opinion  of  the  Confederate 
commander,  Col.  Wm.  Lamb,  that  this  decision  was  absolutely  necessary, 
and  that  the  reason  of  the  success  of  Maj.-Gen.  A.  H.  Terry's  second 
attack  lay  in  the  much  more  formidable  character  of  the  naval  bombard 
ment  which  preceded  it,  from  seventy-five  vessels  instead  of  forty-one. 
Colonel  Lamb  emphatically  said  that  ' '  Admiral  Porter  was  as  much  to 
blame  as  General  Butler  for  the  repulse."1  The  second  and  successful 
attack  is  vividly  described  by  a  Massachusetts  officer,  Capt.  (now  admiral) 
T.  O.  Selfridge,  Jr.,  in  the  Century  War  Book,  and  it  was  one  in  which 
Massachusetts  naval  officers  and  sailors  took  an  active  part.  "  For  the 
first  time  in  the  history  of  sieges,"  says  Colonel  Lamb,  "  the  land  defences 
of  the  works  were  destroyed,  not  by  any  act  of  the  besieging  army,  but  by 
the  concentrated  fire,  direct  and  enfilading,  of  an  immense  fleet  poured 
upon  them  without  intermission,  until  torpedo  wires  were  cut,  palisades 
breached  so  that  they  actually  afforded  cover  for  assailants,  and  the  slopes 
of  the  work  were  rendered  practicable  for  assault."2

It  is  almost  needless  to  point  out  that  this  preliminary  narrative  is  in 
no  sense  a  history  of  the  Civil  War,  but  merely  a  general  sketch  of  the 
part  taken  in  it  by  Massachusetts.  The  writer  has,  so  far  as  possible, 
resisted  the  temptation  to  discuss  the  general  management  of  military 
affairs,  the  success  or  failure  of  campaigns  or  even  of  particular  battles, 
except  so  far  as  it  bore  on  the  Massachusetts  contingent.  His  effort  has 
been  to  treat  all  troops  of  this  State  as  if  they  were  one  body  of  "soldiers, 
included  in  the  Union  Army,  but  necessarily  distributed  on  various  ser 
vices.  This  has  of  course  been  less  easy  than  in  dealing  with  a  State  like 

1  Century  War  Book,  IV,  646.  Colonel  Lamb  repeated  this  statement  to  the  writer  even  more  emphati 
cally,  at  Saratoga,  in  September,  1895,  and  also  emphasized  the  assertion  made  in  the  above  narrative, 
namely,  that  General  Butler  had  himself  to  blame  for  this  unjust  reproach,  on  account  of  an  unduly  boast 
ful  and  premature  letter  sent  by  him  to  Admiral  Porter,  which  Lamb  calls  "  a  piece  of  romance."  Com 
pare  Gordon's  War  Diary,  pp.  366,  370,  which  gives  a  graphic  account,  but  which  is  undoubtedly  unjust  to 
General  Butler.  For  some  of  the  criticisms  of  naval  men,  see  Ammen's  The  Old  Navy  and  the  New,  p. 
405  For  General  Sherman's  remark  that  General  Butler  "  crawfished  off,"  see  Cowley's  Leaves  from  a 
Lawyer's  Journal,  p.  150.  The  stigma  was  unjust,  according  to  Colonel  Lamb's  testimony.  For  many 
documents,  see  Official  War  Records,  87,  pp.  963-1026.  The  latest  English  naval  critic,  after  careful 
review  of  the  dispute,  says  "  It  must  be  doubtful  whether  an  assault  would  have  succeeded  at  this  date."

132  NARRATIVE. 


Vermont,  where  the  regiments  were  not  only  fewer,  but  more  generally 
brigaded  together ;  and  it  has  precluded  a  perfectly  continuous  narrative, 
because  it  has  been  necessary  to  follow  the  varying  lines  of  several 
simultaneous  campaigns.  It  has  not  been  attempted  to  give  the  sepa 
rate  regimental  histories,  except  in  a  highly  condensed  form,  and 
this  partly  because  it  has  already  been  so  well  don£  in  a  general 
way,  in  Bo  wen's  valuable  Massachusetts  in  the  War,  that  it  seemed 
better  to  approach  the  whole  matter  from  the  collective,  not  the  regi 
mental,  point  of  view.  The  story  is  told,  in  short,  as  if  it  were  that 
of  a  single  army  corps,  organically  united,  but  constantly  distributed 
over  different  localities. 

Less  than  half  of  the  Massachusetts  regiments  have  had  their  histories 
even  ostensibly  written.  Some  of  these  histories  were  of  the  most  sketchy 
character,  published  too  soon  after  the  war  to  have  any  value  except  as 
they  might  contain  scattered  facts  or  graphic  isolated  descriptions.  In 
many  cases  the  chapter  given  to  some  particular  regiment  in  Bowen's  Mas 
sachusetts  in  the  War  is  of  far  more  historical  value  than  the  book  osten 
sibly  devoted  to  it.  As  a  rule,  the  most  recent  histories,  as  Crowninshield's 
1st  Cavalry  and  Emilio's  54th  Infantry,  are  altogether  the  best ;  and  it  is 
probable  that  the  present  State  law,  which  provides  for  a  certain  established 
standard  in  such  histories,  will  give  us  much  better  average  work  hereafter. 
No  Massachusetts  regimental  history  is  on  the  whole  so  good  as  the  best 
corps  histories ;  those  especially  of  the  2d  Army  Corps  by  Gen.  F.  A. 
Walker  and  of  the  19th  Corps  by  Irwin.  The  chief  and  unique  value  of 
even  the  poorest  regimental  history  or  company  narrative  lies  in  the  flavor 
of  actual  experience  there  exhibited ;  and  in  this  the  simple  autobiography 
or  company  diary  is  apt  to  surpass  the  more  formal  regimental  record. 
The  best  book  which  the  author  has  had  occasion  to  consult  in  this  respect 
is  Lincoln's  Life  with  the  34th  Massachusetts  Infantry  in  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion  (Worcester,  1879),  a  book  making  no  claim  to  high  finish  or 
especial  literary  merit,  but  thoroughly  admirable  in  its  way.  With  these 
may  be  classed,  so  far  as  they  go,  the  manuscript  narratives  and  memo 
randa  of  Brevet  Maj.  E.  W.  Everson,  U.  S.  Vols.,  some  of  which  have 
become  the  property  of  the  State,  and  which  should  at  some  time  be 
printed.  It  was  at  one  time  the  hope  of  the  author  to  obtain  a  good 


MASSACHUSETTS  ENLISTMENTS  AND  CASUALTIES.  133 

deal  of  such  manuscript  material,  but  in  this  he  has  had  only  a  limited 
success.1 

It  has  been  attempted  to  deal  as  much  as  possible  with  facts  and  as 
little  with  eulogy,  except  as  this  is  quoted  from  commanding  officers,  such 
eulogies  being,  properly  speaking,  a  part  of  the  facts.  The  total  credit 
of  Massachusetts,  as  a  single  State,  lies,  if  anywhere,  in  the  claim  (1) 
that  she  was  very  promptly  in  the  field;  (2)  that  there  was  a  certain 
high  average  standard  in  her  regiments;  (3)  that  they  never  even  once 
conspicuously  disgraced  themselves ;  (4)  that  she  yielded  soldiers  and 
sailors  not  merely  up  to  her  quota  but  considerably  beyond  it ;  (5)  that 
she  had  a  governor  who  appreciated  the  situation  ;  (6)  that,  while  she  did 
not  produce  a  single  professional  soldier  of  the  very  highest  rank,2  she 
produced  a  series  of  young  men,  before  untried,  —  of  whom  Lowell, 
Bartlett  and  Miles  were  perhaps  the  most  striking  instances,  —  who 
exhibited,  by  admission  of  all,  not  merely  the  most  daring  courage  but 
a  certain  genius  for  war.  Thus  far  we  are  on  safe  ground ;  it  will  hardly 
be  denied  that  all  this  may  be  claimed  for  Massachusetts. 

As  to  numbers,  the  (State)  Adjutant-General's  report  for  January, 
1866,3  claims  the  total  number  of  men  supplied  to  be  159,165,  including 
26,163  in  the  navy.  This  estimate  includes  re-enlisted  veterans,  who  may 
not  be  included  in  the  U.  S.  report.  The  final  report  from  the  Adjutant- 
General's  office  at  Washington  on  the  statistics  of  the  war  (1885)  reports 
from  Massachusetts  122,781  white  troops,  3,966  colored  troops  and  19,983 
sailors,  making  in  all  146,730  men,  of  whom  13,942  died  in  the  war.  The 
only  States  surpassing  Massachusetts  in  total  number  were  New  York, 
Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Illinois  and  Indiana ;  the  same  proportion  existing  in 
the  number  of  deaths,  with  the  addition  that  Michigan  also  slightly  ex 
ceeded  Massachusetts  in  the  proportion  of  these.

of  as  many  as  possible  of  these  papers,  including  the  records  of  the  various  regimental  associations.

134  NARRATIVE. 


The  tables  in  the  successive  reports  of  the  State  Adjutant-General  show 
that  every  city  and  town  in  the  State  filled  its  quota  upon  every  call  made 
by  the  President,  and  that,  except  in  twelve  small  towns,  each  city  and 
town  furnished  a  surplus  over  all  demands,  amounting  in  the  aggregate  to 
15,17s.1  This  number  has  since  been  considerably  increased  by  the  addi 
tion  of  sailors  finally  credited  to  Massachusetts,  the  whole  number  of  whom 
now  exceeds  30,000 ;  and  it  does  not  include  five  companies  furnished  for 
the  New  York  Mozart  Regiment  and  some  600  men  of  the  99th  New  York 
(recruited  by  Colonel  Wardrop,  formerly  of  the  3d  Mass.),  who  did  not 
form  a  part  of  the  Massachusetts  quota.  Every  colored  man  recruited  out 
of  the  State  and  every  German  brought  from  Germany  might  be  deducted, 
and  leave  a  large  balance  in  favor  of  Massachusetts.  There  is,  however, 
no  reason  why  they  should  be  deducted,  since  it  was  plainly  the  duty  of 
every  State  to  seek  recruits  from  beyond  its  borders  for  the  aid  of  the 
republic,  so  long  as  it  did  not  substitute  them  for  its  own  citizens.  The 
total  amount  of  bounty  paid  to  all  recruits  by  the  State,  up  to  Dec.  1,  1865, 
was  $11, 685, 987. 60.2 

The  only  important  instance  of  the  incorporation  into  Massachusetts 
regiments  of  whole  companies  raised  out  of  the  State  was  as  follows  :  after 
the  formation  of  the  2d  Cavalry  had  been  determined  on,  an  offer  was 
received  from  California  to  raise  a  company  there,  to  be  counted  on  the 
quota  of  Boston.  A  company  was  accordingly  thus  organized  on  Dec. 
10,  1862,  at  San  Francisco,  and  reached  Camp  Meigs  at  Readville,  Jan.  3, 
1863,  under  command  of  Capt.  J.  Sewell  Eead  of  San  Francisco,  — after 
ward  killed  in  service,  — the  second  lieutenant  being  also  from  that  city 
and  the  first  lieutenant  from  Boston.  Afterwards  a  whole  battalion  was 
enlisted  in  California,  reaching  Boston  April  16,  1863,  and  consisting  of 
four  companies  (E,  F,  L  and  M).  Of  these,  the  first  three  were  com 
manded  wholly  by  California  line  officers,  while  the  last  had  a  second  lieu 
tenant  from  Massachusetts.  The  men  were  natives  of  almost  every  State 
in  the  Union,  enlisted  with  no  Massachusetts  bounty. 

Some  account  of  the  colored  troops  enlisted  by  Massachusetts  has  been 
previously  given,  there  being  in  addition  a  regiment  of  cavalry  (the  5th 
Mass.  Cavalry)  composed  of  colored  men,  under  white  officers,  and  having

a  respectable  and  useful  career,  though  less  conspicuous  than  that  of  the 
54th  and  55th  Mass.  Infantry.  As  to  German  soldiers,  Mr.  J.  G.  Rosen- 
garten,  in  his  The  German  Soldier  in  the  Wars  of  the  United  States,  esti 
mates  the  total  number  recruited  in  this  State  as  1,876,  the  total  German 
population  of  the  State,  by  the  census  of  1860,  being  O^Gl.1  This  state 
ment  is  based  on  the  calculations  made  by  Dr.  B.  A.  Gould  for  the  San 
itary  Commission.  These  soldiers  were  doubtless  widely  scattered  through 
the  regiments,2  but  there  were  three  especially  German  companies,  and  it 
is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  the  special  history  of  these  three  has  never 
been  written.  The  late  Mr.  S.  R.  Urbino  of  Newtonville,  who  took  a 
larger  share  than  any  one  else  in  recruiting  them,  had  offered  to  prepare  a 
sketch  for  this  narrative,  but  wTas  prevented  by  death  from  fulfilling  his 
purpose,  and,  though  his  papers  relating  to  the  subject  have  been  placed 
in  my  hands,  they  are  very  scanty  and  fragmentary.  The  first  two 
companies  were  formed  in  and  near  Boston,  perhaps  with  some  recruits 
brought  from  Germany.  The  company  officers  were,  at  first,  German 
by  birth  or  origin,  except  Lieut.  J.  W.  LeBarnes,  who  was  well  known 
and  popular  among  the  German  citizens  of  Boston,  and  had  formed  a 
German  company  for  the  defence  of  Wendell  Phillips  during  the  anti- 
slavery  troubles  just  previous  to  the  war. 

The  companies  (B  and  C  of  the  20th)  were  unfortunate  in  the  loss  of 
officers,  Captain  Babo  and  Lieutenant  Wesselhoeft  having  been  drowned  at 
Ball's  Bluff  and  Captain  Dreher  being  severely  wounded  there  and  mortally 
at  Fredericksburg.  They  were  also  in  one  respect  peculiarly  situated, 
forming  a  part  of  a  regiment  which,  although  fine  in  material  and  disci 
pline  and  eminent  in  service,  was  for  a  time  somewhat  divided  by  what 
General  Devens  criticised  as  "the  blue-blood  theory  "of  promotion,  and 
still  more  by  the  inclination  of  some  of  its  very  best  officers  to  return 
fugitive  slaves,  under  the  wish  and  even  orders  of  Gen.  C.  P.  Stone.  It 
is  needless  to  say  that  the  German  companies  were  by  no  means  on  the  con 
servative  side  on  either  question,  and  it  is  evident,  from  the  correspondence 
in  my  hands,  that  some  chafing  grew  out  of  this  fact.  It  even  appears  that 
when  General  Stone  was  finally  arrested  for  treason  and  imprisoned,  one

of  the  German  companies  fell  into  line  spontaneously  and  gave  three  cheers. 
It  is  well  enough  to  know  that,  in  spite  of  this  possible  breach  of  orderly 
discipline,  the  offending  company  received  high  praise  from  Capt.  (after 
wards  general)  G.  N.  Macy,  whose  good  opinion  was  certainly  of  value, 
and  who  wrote  (June  14,  1862),  "  I  am  very  [glad]  to  say  that  the  com 
pany  behaved  splendidly  [at  Fair  Oaks]  and  did  nobly  but  with  one 
exception."  This  testimony  is  the  more  valuable  as  this  officer  had  been 
promoted  some  months  before  to  the  captaincy  (of  Co.  B)  over  the  heads 
of  its  two  original  lieutenants,  a  thing  which,  even  where  necessary,  rarely 
promotes  harmony  or  even  good  discipline.  The  third  German  company, 
in  the  25th  Mass.  Infantry,  had  German  officers,  and  maintained  its  char 
acter  well.1  Desertions  from  these  three  companies  were  but  few  ;  indeed, 
the  whole  number  recorded  against  the  whole  25th  Regiment  was  but 
thirteen,  none  of  these  being  to  the  enemy.2 

There  were  Irish  companies  in  several  regiments,  as,  for  instance,  four 
in  the  48th  Infantry,  one  in  the  25th,  and  so  on,  but  the  men  of  this  descent 
were  mainly  concentrated  into  two  distinctively  Irish  regiments,  — the  9th 
and  the  28th.  Of  the  first  Irish  regiment,  the  9th,  Adjutant-General 
Schouler  wrote  in  January,  1862  :  "  This  regiment  is  one  of  the  best  the 
Commonwealth  has  sent  to  the  field.  It  is  composed  almost  entirely  of  men 
of  Irish  birth  and  their  immediate  descendants."3  As  a  rule,  they  showed 
the  fighting  characteristics  of  their  race  and  sometimes  the  turbulent  quali 
ties.  As  for  desertion,  the  regiments  which  suffered  most  from  it  were  not 
the  distinctively  Irish  regiments,  although  they  suffered  a  good  deal. 

In  June  and  July,  1863,  the  United  States  law  in  regard  to  drafting  was 
put  in  force  in  Massachusetts  under  Major  Clark,  U.  S.  A.,  provost  marshal 
general.  All  male  persons  in  the  State  between  twenty  and  forty-five  years 
of  age  were  enrolled,  in  two  classes  (107,  386-J-56,  792  =  164,  178  in  all). 
The  number  actually  drafted  was  32,079,  of  whom  6,690  were  held  to  serve. 
Of  these,  743  actually  entered  the  service,  2,345  were  represented  by  sub-

3  The  first  Irish  company  volunteering  in  the  State  was  the  Emmett  Guards  of  Worcester,  Mass. 
(Schouler,  I,  107).    For  the  proportion  of  foreigners  in- our  army  at  large,  see  Comte  de  Paris  (transla

Paris  (translation),  I,  178;   Walker's  2d  Army  Corps,  p.  62.     The  green  flag  of  the  9th  Mass,  was 
presented  by  the  Irish  citizens  of  Boston  at  the  State  House,  April  24,  after  Governor  Andrew  had 
presented  the  national  and  State  flags;  and  that  of  the  29th  by  New  York  regiments  .  Mass.  Adjutant- 
General's  Reports  (January,  1864),  p.  313.    Compare  Macnamara's  Irish  Ninth,  pp.  52,  68,  79,  etc.

stitutes,  22,343  were  exempted  from  physical  defect  or  other  cause,  3,044 
failed  to  report,  and  3,623  paid  commutation,  amounting  to  $1,085, 800. l 

The  subject  of  cowardice  and  desertion  is  one  upon  which  it  is  useless 
to  enter  in  detail,  because  one  soon  finds  that,  the  whole  subject  being 
naturally  vexatious,  commanding  officers  have  usually  avoided  it,  and 
accurate  details  are  unattainable.  The  Massachusetts  commander  who 
faced  it  most  fully  appears  to  have  been  Col.  N.  B.  McLaughlen  of  the 
1st  Infantry,  who  in  his  final  report  gave  a  list  (not  printed)  of  nine 
commissioned  officers  and  thirteen  men  who  had  disgraced  their  State 
by  cowardice.2  Even  this  list  may  have  been  untrustworthy,  since  all 
experience  shows  that  a  man  may  at  first  shirk,  and  yet  turn  out  brave 
at  the  end.3  It  has  never  been  charged  on  any  Massachusetts  regiment 
that  it  showed  cowardice  collectively,  although  there  were  instances 
during  the  Civil  War  where  whole  bodies  of  troops  turned  their  backs 
at  the  first  engagement.4 

In  respect  to  desertions,  General  McLaughlen  reports  a  desertion  of 
160  in  the  1st  Mass.  Infantry,  out  of  a  total  of  about  ten  times  that 
number.  Ten  per  cent,  of  desertion  is  a  large  figure ;  but  that  in  other 
regiments  was  much  larger,  usually  occurring  late  in  the  war,  when  a 
class  of  men  called  bounty  jumpers  grew  up,  who  enlisted  expressly 
with  a  view  to  this.  Bo  wen,  in  his  Massachusetts  in  the  Civil  War, 
gives  the  following  figures  as  to  desertion,5  the  ten  worst  regiments, 
in  this  respect,  being  graded  as  follows  :  2d  Cavalry,  614  desertions ; 
3d  Heavy  Artillery,  381  desertions;  llth  Infantry,  320  desertions;  3d 
Cavalry,  289  desertions ;  28th  Infantry,  279  desertions ;  2d  Infantry,  276 
desertions ;  4th  Cavalry,  261  desertions ;  9th  Infantry,  236  desertions ; 
20th  Infantry,  226  desertions ;  47th  Infantry,  225  desertions.  The  larger 
proportion  of  desertions  in  the  cavalry  regiments  was  due  partly  to  the 
fact  of  their  often  scattered  life  at  outposts  and  headquarters ;  partly  to 

1  The  number  of  drafted  men  and  substitutes  actually  mustered  into  service  during  1863  was  as  follows : 
9th,  200;  llth,  201 ;  12th,  322;  13th,  200;  15th,  202;  16th,  202;  18th,  302;  19th,  211 ;  20th,  201 ;  22d,  194; 
28th,  200;  32d,  312;  54th,  73;  provost  guard,  224.    Total,  2,944.     (Mass.  Adjutant  General's  Report, 
January,  1864,  p.  27.)      As  to  "the  curse  of  conscription,"  see  Walker's  2d  Army  Corps,  p.  11.     In 
Massachusetts,  as  this  exhibit  shows,  the  curse  was  reduced  to  a  minimum.

3  The  writer  knows  of  a  regiment  —  not  from  Massachusetts  —  in  which  the  only  officer  who  distinctly 
showed  the  white  feather,  when  under  fire  for  the  first  time,  was  also  the  only  one  who  afterwards  selected 
the  army  as  a  profession,  remaining  in  it  with  credit  to  this  day.

the  facilities  given  by  their  being  mounted ;  and  most  of  all  to  the  fact 
that  many  of  their  recruits  were  received  in  the  later  period  of  the  war, 
when  bounty  jumping  had  become  almost  a  profession. 

The  13th  Light  Battery  appears  to  have  lost  by  desertion  more  than 
one-quarter  of  its  whole  membership.  It  is  probable  that  comparatively 
few  of  these  deserters  actually  went  over  to  the  enemy,  although  a 
former  member  of  the  2d  Mass.  Cavalry  was  caught  and  shot  by  court- 
martial  for  leading  a  party  against  his  former  associates.  An  officer  in 
the  12th  Mass,  was  cashiered  for  treason.  As  to  colored  regiments, 
Emilio  reports  but  36  desertions  in  the  54th  Mass.,  out  of  a  total 
membership  of  1,354,  and  nearly  half  of  these  were  from  camp  at  Read- 
ville,  before  departure  to  the  front.1 

When  we  come  to  the  casualties  of  the  war,  and  follow  Fox's  compu 
tations,  which  are  recognized  as  the  most  careful  yet  made,  there  are  in 
all  45  infantry  regiments  which  lost  over  200  men  each,  killed  or  mor 
tally  wounded  during  the  Civil  War.  Six  of  these  were  Massachusetts 
regiments.  At  the  head  of  all  regiments  stands  the  5th  New  Hampshire, 
with  a  loss  of  295  ; 2  then  follow  in  succession  the  83d  Pennsylvania,  the 
7th  Wisconsin,  the  5th  Michigan  and  the  20th  Mass.,  the  latter  thus 
ranking  fifth  on  the  list,  with  a  loss  of  260.3  There  follow  later  the 
28th  (loss  250),  the  15th  (loss  241),  the  22d  (loss  216),  the  9th  (loss 
209),  the  57th  (loss  201).  It  will  be  noticed  that  two  of  these  six  (the 
9th  and  28th)  were  the  only  distinctively  Irish- American  regiments. 

Of  heavy  artillery  regiments,  losing  each  200  killed  or  died  of  wounds, 
there  were  nine,  the  1st  Mass.  (Colonel  Greene)  ranking  fifth  among 
these,  with  a  loss  of  241.  Nine  cavalry  regiments  had  the  same  record, 
neither  of  which  was  from  Massachusetts,  although  the  1st  Cavalry 
ranked  high.  The  batteries  were  much  smaller  organizations ;  there

s  It  is  not  strange,  in  view  of  this  pre-eminence,  that  the  20th  should  be  one  of  the  two  regiments 
especially  commemorated  on  the  stairway  of  the  Boston  Public  Library.  In  regard  to  the  other  (the  2d), 
it  must  be  remembered  that,  on  Hooker's  reorganization  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  he  selected  on  in 
spection,  out  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  regiments,  only  eleven  from  the  whole  army  as  worthy  of  com 
mendation,  the  1st,  2d  and  20th  Mass,  being  three  of  these.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  however,  the  2d  and  20th 
were  commemorated  in  the  Public  Library  simply  because  they  were  the  only  ones  whose  friends  pro 
vided  the  means  for  such  distinction.  It  was  not  done  at  the  city's  expense. 


MASSACHUSETTS   ENLISTMENTS  AND   CASUALTIES.  139 

were  in  the  whole  army  14  batteries  losing  each  15  or  more,  of  which 
the  5th  Mass.  Battery  (Captain  Phillips)  ranked  third,  losing  19  ;  and 
the  9th  (Captain  Bigelow)  twelfth,  losing  15.  Perhaps,  however,  the 
truest  test  of  hard  fighting  is  to  compare  the  number  of  killed  and  mor 
tally  wounded  with  the  total  enrolment.  Fox  gives  a  list  of  23  full 
regiments  (nearly  all  infantry)  losing  15  per  cent,  or  more  upon  their 
total  enrolment.  At  the  head  of  these  stands  the  2d  Wisconsin,  with 
19.7  per  cent.;  third  in  rank  comes  the  57th  Mass.  Infantry,  with  19.1 
per  cent.  ;  and  sixteenth  comes  the  22d  Mass.  Infantry,  with  15.5  per 
cent.  All  these  figures  are  admitted  by  the  compiler  to  be  in  some  de 
gree  approximate,  as  it  is  often  impossible  to  state  with  precise  accuracy 
the  total  enlistment  of  regiments  of  long  service.  In  the  case  of  the 
57th  Mass.,  for  instance,  a  number  of  names  have  been  properly  excluded 
which  were  added  by  consolidation  of  the  49th  at  the  very  close  of  the 
war.1  It  must  always  be  remembered,  however,  that,  as  has  already 
been  suggested,  a  high  rate  of  mortality,  even  in  battle,  is  not  always 
and  necessarily  to  the  glory  of  a  regiment,  since  while  it  may  some 
times  proceed  from  the  daring  of  officers  and  men,  it  may  sometimes 
come  quite  as  much  from  carelessness  or  want  of  discipline.  Yet  on 
the  whole  the  record  of  lives  lost  will  always  be  popularly  accepted 
as  the  test  of  distinguished  service.  On  the  same  principle,  it  is  to 
be  noticed  that  all  the  monuments  and  memorials  erected  for  soldiers 
are  built  to  celebrate  the  dead,  not  the  survivors.2 

All  military  historians  agree,  moreover,  that  the  mere  comparison 
of  losses  is  one  of  the  most  superficial  grounds  of  comparison  between 
military  commands.  The  first  duty  of  an  officer  is  to  sacrifice  his 
troops  where  it  is  necessary ;  his  second,  to  guard  them  against  need 
less  sacrifice.  His  skill  and  foresight  and  the  discipline  and  coolness 
of  the  troops  whom  he  commands  will  often  save  them  from  losses 
which  poor  officers  and  insufficient  discipline  would  incur.  The  losses 
suffered  at  Bull  Run,  for  instance,  were  not  those  of  an  army  but  of  a 
mob  in  uniform,  as  yet  undisciplined ;  or,  as  Governor  Andrew  said,

survived  it,  always  pointed  out  —  and  with  some  justice  —  this  omission  in  the  Harvard  Memorial  Hall.

of  "an  aggregation  of  town  meetings."  The  governor  himself  wrote, 
on  June  4,  1862,  to  Col.  G.  H.  Gordon,  commanding  a  brigade  under 
Major-General  Banks  :  "Permit  me,  in  closing,  to  congratulate  you  upon 
your  nomination  to  the  rank  of  brigadier-general,  and  also  upon  the 
brilliant  success  achieved  by  the  withdrawal  of  our  forces,  with  so  little 
loss."1 

XXVI.       MASSACHUSETTS    IN    THE    FIELD. 

The  patriot  Garibaldi  told  Gen.  W.  F.  Bartlett  that  he  had  seen  from 
the  beginning  that  there  was  only  one  question  pending  in  the  world,  and 
that  was  the  American  question.2  It  was  not  the  fault  of  Massachusetts  if 
other  nations  and  even  our  own  nation  failed  at  first  to  recognize  the  great 
ness  of  this  question,  or  the  fact  that  slavery  was  an  essential  factor  in  the 
war.  Even  some  who  finally  were  active  in  recognizing  it,  as  General 
Butler,  held  back  from  it  at  first,  and  would  gladly  have  seen  the  matter 
adjusted  without  liberating  a  slave.  Col.  George  D.  Wells,  one  of  the 
most  brilliant  of  the  younger  Massachusetts  commanders,  advocated  this 
policy  in  his  recruiting  speeches  at  Worcester,  and  yet  afterwards  became 
a  member  of  a  board  to  examine  officers  for  colored  troops.  The  increas 
ing  tendency  to  an  emancipation  policy  swept  all  before  it,  and  carried 
Massachusetts  first ;  yet  the  repugnance  to  this  attitude  died  hard  among 
many  Massachusetts  officers,  and  unfortunately  among  some  of  the  best 
of  these.3 

The  good  sanitary  condition  of  the  Massachusetts  regiments  was  ad 
mitted  by  many  witnesses,  the  camps  being  kept  in  such  order,  sometimes, 
that  when  an  inspection  by  a  regular  officer  was  announced  for  a  certain  day 
not  the  slightest  special  preparation  was  made  for  that  ceremony.4  The 
early  surgical  examination  of  soldiers  was  often  so  carelessly  conducted  as  to 
bring  many  men  not  properly  inspected  into  the  regiments,5  but  after  being 
there  they  were  fairly  well  attended  and  supervised/1  The  percentage  of

frank  explanation  of  his  regiment's  large  losses :  "  Allow  me  to  state  that  the  reason  why  the  loss  of  my 
regiment  was  so  heavy  was,  the  men  held  their  ground  and  endeavored  to  whip  the  enemy,  instead  of 
skulking  or  shamefully  leaving  the  field,  as  many  of  the  new  regiments  did."  Official  War  Records,

deaths  from  disease  in  the  13th  Mass.  Infantry  (Col.  S.  H.  Leonard)  was 
the  smallest  among  the  three-year  regiments  of  the  entire  army.  "  There 
were  regiments  with  a  smaller  number  of  deaths  from  disease,  but  they 
were  two-year  regiments,  or  carried  a  less  number  of  names  on  their  rolls." 
This  is  the  remark  of  Col.  W.  F.  Fox  in  his  invaluable  book,  Regimental 
Losses  in  the  Civil  War;1  but  when  he  adds,  "  The  extraordinary  exemp 
tion  from  disease  .  .  .  would  indicate  that  the  regiment  was  composed  of 
superior  material,"  he  forgets  to  recognize  that  it  must  have  been  also  well 
officered.  Nothing  is  more  deceptive  among  military  statistics  than  the 
mere  number  of  killed  in  battle ;  this  may  proceed  from  the  superior  dar 
ing  of  a  commander  or  simply  from  his  carelessness  and  incapacity  ;  but  a 
small  death-roll  from  disease  is  pretty  sure  to  be  due  to  the  care  of  the 
commander  and  the  surgeons.  The  high  character  of  the  Massachusetts 
surgeons  was  generally  recognized,  from  the  days  of  Dr.  Luther  V.  Bell 
onward ;  and  many  instances  of  their  self-devotion  have  been  recorded  in 
these  pages.2  It  was  found  easier,  however,  to  secure  the  aid  of  first-class 
surgeons  at  the  beginning  of  the  war  than  at  the  end ;  and  it  was  latterly 
necessary  to  introduce  into  the  service  a  good  many  of  what  were  called 
"  contract  surgeons,"  who  did  not  perhaps  come  quite  up  to  the  level  of 
their  predecessors.  In  the  earlier  days  great  aid  was  given  in  the  care  of 
the  Massachusetts  regiments  by  a  soldiers'  agency,  established  at  Washing 
ton  under  the  auspices  of  Col.  Gardner  W.  Tufts  of  Lynn,  this  being  first 
instituted  on  the  arrival  of  the  6th  Regiment  with  its  wounded,  April  19, 
1861,  and  afterwards  expanding  until  it  included  not1  merely  the  oversight 
of  the  Massachusetts  men  in  the  sixty  hospitals  in  and  near  Washington, 
but  also  in  the  camps  and  on  the  battlefields  within  reach,  including  the 
sound  as  well  as  the  disabled.  The  names  of  36,151  sick  or  wounded 
soldiers  from  the  State  were  recorded  at  the  Washington  agency,  and  the 
expense  to  the  Massachusetts  treasury  was  some  $35,000.3 

The  service  of  the  chaplains  in  the  field  ought  properly  to  rank  next  to 
that  of  the  surgeons,  but  this  was  not  always  the  case.  The  whole  position 
of  the  chaplain  in  our  army  was  not  only  difficult  but  anomalous,  in  this 
respect  at  least.  In  a  little  world  ruled  by  clockwork,  where  in  the  ordi-

nary  camp  routine  each  man  had  his  precise  position  and  every  hour  its 
prescribed  duties,  the  chaplain  alone  held  a  vague  and  indefinite  place,  and 
had  to  fill  his  own  hours  and  lay  out  his  own  plan  of  work.  This  left  his 
whole  sphere  of  usefulness  to  be  determined  by  his  personal  qualities.  To 
the  man  of  strength  and  tact,  this  freedom  was  an  advantage,  and  he  often 
created  for  himself  a  position  of  vast  influence ;  but  the  weak  or  tactless 
man  found  himself  pushed  aside,  the  mechanism  provided  no  place  for  him 
such  as  it  created  for  all  others  ;  he  degenerated  into  the  mere  postmaster 
of  the  regiment  or  the  caterer  for  the  officers'  mess.  It  was  fortunate  if 
actual  demoralization  did  not  follow.  Sometimes  the  very  spirit  of  advent 
ure,  having  no  legitimate  channel,  led  him  astray,  as  with  the  Massachu 
setts  chaplain  of  one  of  the  early  colored  regiments  at  the  South,  of  whom 
a  soldier  said,  "  Woffer  Mars'  Chapman  [chaplain]  made  a  preacher  for? 
He's  de  fightin'est  more  Yankee  I  eber  see  in  all  my  days."  This  advent 
urous  person,  volunteering  on  a  perilous  scouting  expedition,  was  captured 
by  the  enemy  and  held  a  prisoner  for  a  year,  at  a  time  when  non-combatant 
chaplains  were  promptly  exchanged.  Apart  from  such  extremes,  we  often 
come  upon  hints,  in  the  books  of  personal  reminiscences,  of  the  errors  or 
incompetence  of  individual  chaplains.1  On  the  other  hand,  there  was  no 
limit  to  the  respect  and  gratitude  inspired  by  some  other  Massachusetts 
chaplains,  as,  for  instance,  Eev.  Gr.  S.  Ball  (21st  Infantry)  and  Rev.  J.  F. 
Moors  (52d  Infantry).  To  these  might  be  added  Father  Scully  (9th  In 
fantry  ) ,  whom  Sheridan  is  said  to  have  pronounced  « '  the  pluckiest  little 
devil  of  a  chaplain  "  he  ever  saw. 

It  is  a  merit  of  civil  war,  that,  while  often  bitterer  than  any  other,  it 
usually  discloses  little  of  the  incidental  or  secondary  cruelties  of  war,  —  as 
personal  outrage  or  torture,  wanton  havoc  or  personal  plunder.  Of 
plundering  there  was  a  good  deal  at  the  outset,  and  there  is  little  doubt 
that  there  were  serious  frauds,  in  some  directions,  as  to  the  cotton  supply; 
but  "  loot,  "  in  the  sense  so  familiar  in  British  army  life,  occurs  very  little 
as  a  factor.  Where  it  existed,  it  was  carefully  concealed,  not  proclaimed. 
No  American  soldier  would  have  bragged  of  his  commander's  stolen  posses 
sions,  as  English  soldiers  spoke  freely,  for  instance,  of  Lord  Wolseley's. 
An  English  military  writer,  speaking  of  that  officer's  frequent  ill-luck, 
says  frankly  :  "Upon  the  loot  of  Lucknow  an  officer  gave  him  a  valuable

cashmere  shawl.  It  was  stolen.  The  men  of  his  company  afterwards  pre 
sented  him  with  two  silver  bowls.  They  shared  the  same  fate.1"  There 
was  no  American  officer  of  whose  career  such  matters  would  be  so  openly 
affirmed.2  This  was  certainly  a  gain. 

Moreover,  there  were  in  our  Civil  War  many  instances  of  something 
approaching  to  chivalry  on  both  sides,  as  when,  in  the  assault  on  Port 
Hudson,  orders  were  given  by  Confederate  officers  to  spare  Gen.  W.  F. 
Bartlett,  as  the  only  mounted  man  visible  among  the  throng  of  assailants  ;3 
or  when  the  commander  of  a  picket  station  bade  his  men  present  arms  to 
General  Meade  across  the  river  at  Richmond,  instead  of  firing  upon  him, 
when  they  had  him  absolutely  in  their  power;  or  when,  on  the  other  side, 
General  Kershaw  was  spared  by  the  Union  officers  at  Fredericksburg  when 
he  alone  dared  ride  up  to  reconnoitre  the  enemy  from  a  knoll  which  was 
swept  by  the  fire  of  the  sharpshooters  of  both  armies.4 

The  gradual  development  of  the  Union  cavalry,  which  at  first  was 
distinctly  inferior  to  the  Confederate  and  in  the  end  overwhelmingly 
superior,5  while  not  at  all  confined  to  the  Massachusetts  regiments,  yet 
found  in  them  some  of  its  best  illustrations,  and  certainly  some  of  its  best 
commanders.  This  was  due  largely  to  the  high  standard  set  by  Col. 
Robert  Williams  of  the  1st  Cavalry  and  to  the  distinguished  qualities  of 
Col.  C.  R.  Lowell  of  the  2d  Cavalry,  of  whom  much  has  been  elsewhere 
said.  Colonel  Williams  brought  upon  himself  some  criticism  by  his  severe 
winnowing  of  the  original  list  of  his  line  officers, — an  act  of  courage  to 
which  few  regimental  commanders  were  equal.  The  later  career  of  his

5  In  Crowninshield's  1st  Mass.  Cavalry  there  is  an  admirable  essay  on  the  development  of  the  Union 
cavalry  during  the  war.    As  to  the  superiority  of  the  Confederate  cavalry  at  first,  see  Gordon's  Brook 
Farm  to  Cedar  Mountain,  p.  137,  the  Comte  de  Paris  (translation),  I,  276,  and  Gen.  Sheridan's  Personal 
Memoirs,  1, 354-355     For  the  almost  annihilated  condition  of  the  Confederate  cavalry  at  last,  see  Sheridan's 
Memoirs,  I,  453-455.    The  latter  were  often  mounted  infantry  without  sabres.     (De  Leon's  Four  Years  in 
Rebel  Capitals,  p.  97.)     General  Sheridan  thinks  the  American  use  of  cavalry  more  highly  developed  and 
efficient  than  the  German.     (Personal  Memoirs,  II.  450.)     For  special  references  to  1st  Mass.  Cavalry,  see

regiment  vindicated  this,  for  it  did  its  full  share,  especially  in  those 
two  important  engagements  at  Brandy  Station  and  Aldie,  which,  in  Sheri 
dan's  phrase,  "made  the  Federal  cavalry"1  and  proved  it  to  be  hence 
forward  not  merely  the  equal  but  the  superior  of  the  Confederate.  The 
Massachusetts  field  artillery  also  held  its  own  conspicuously  well,  though 
always  somewhat  handicapped  by  the  fact  that  it  was  not,  like  that  of  some 
other  States,  allowed  to  possess  a  regimental  organization,  so  that  the  best 
and  bravest  officers,  though  often,  like  Capt.  A.  P.  Martin,  having  a  brigade 
command,  could  not  rise  above  the  linear  rank  and  pay  of  captain,  even  if 
brevetted,  as  in  his  case,  to  a  brigadier-generalship.2  During  the  Red 
River  campaign,  Col.  W.  J.  Landram  (19th  Kentucky)  wrote  of  an  engage 
ment  at  Sabine  Cross  Roads  :  "It  is  proper  to  say  that  Captain  Nims's 
battery  [the  2d  Mass.]  displayed  through  the  whole  fight  an  example  of 
coolness  and  true  courage  unsurpassed  in  the  annals  of  history."3 

The  war  was  also  marked  by  a  great  self-education  in  military  meth 
ods,  and  the  creation  of  an  extremely  energetic  and  efficient  veteran  force 
out  of  that  aggregation  of  town  meetings  of  which  Governor  Andrew 
spoke.  The  art  of  entrenching,  for  instance,  which  scarcely  existed  at 
the  battle  of  Shiloh,4  was  brought  to  such  perfection  as  made  it  almost  a 
matter  of  instinct  with  veteran  soldiers  to  entrench  themselves  wherever 
they  halted  over  night,  in  the  enemy's  country.5  At  the  outset  there  were 
curious  superstitions  or  at  least  rumors  among  raw  recruits  as  of  "  masked 
batteries"  and  a  certain  "  Black  Horse  Cavalry"  which  haunted  the  imag 
ination  and  inspired  real  terror.  So  thoroughly  were  these  fears  removed 
that  there  was  for  a  long  time  a  disbelief  as  to  the  existence  of  torpedoes 
in  the  Southern  rivers,  and  some  valuable  lives  were  sacrificed  through

get  a  fair  fight  anywhere  in  the  open  ground;  which  was  to  create  a  system  of  rapid,  effective  entrench 
ment,  such  as  previously  had  not  been  dreamed  of  by  soldiers,  and  had  formed  no  part  of  the  theory  of 
military  operations ;  which  was  to  make  the  sanguinary  struggles  of  1864  and  1865  nothing  but  a  series 
of  assaults  upon  fortified  lines,  the  troops  covering  themselves  everywhere,  spontaneously  and  instinc 
tively,  the  moment  they  came  into  line  in  front  of  the  enemy  "     (Walker's  2d  Army  Corps,  p.  386.)     As

sheer  disbelief.  The  same  incredulity  extended  to  those  obstructions 
which  the  Confederates  built  skilfully  on  those  rivers,  and  which  were 
seldom  allowed  for  or  foreseen.1 

On  the  other  hand,  the  war  developed  methods  and  short  cuts  impos 
sible  for  any  regular  army,  and  scarcely  to  be  commended  even  for  an 
unusually  intelligent  and  self-respecting  body.  A  Massachusetts  colonel 
told  the  writer  with  satisfaction  that  he  for  a  time,  in  a  region  wholly  safe, 
entirely  discontinued  all  sentinels  round  his  camp,  throwing  the  men 
entirely  on  their  honor  as  to  absenting  themselves,  and  having  a  wholly 
empty  guard-house  as  the  result.  He  also  told  me  that  on  a  long  march 
he  also  discontinued  the  tedious  process  of  laboriously  aligning  his  men 
before  letting  them  rest  and  then  again  before  taking  up  the  line  of  march ; 
but  permitted  them  simply  to  halt  for  rest  at  a  single  command  and  set  off 
again  at  another.  The  consequence  was,  he  said,  that  his  men  got  twice 
as  much  rest  on  a  march  as  the  other  regiments.'2  They  never,  perhaps, 
like  some  Confederate  regiments,  made  charges  without  military  formation, 
as  at  Charles  City,  or  used  stones  for  missiles,  as  at  Groveton;3  but  they 
were  often,  at  the  outset,  equipped  with  muskets  so  poor  as  to  be  more 
efficient  when  clubbed  than  in  any  other  way.  There  were  among  them 
individual  instances  of  cowardice,4  but  this  was  never,  so  far  as  I  know, 
attributed  to  any  Massachusetts  regiment  or  battery  collectively,  or  to 
the  actual  commander  of  any ;  nor  were  whole  companies  ever  mustered 
out  as  insubordinate,  as  happened  once  in  the  Confederate  army.5  It  may 
fairly  be  claimed  that  the  Massachusetts  regiments  were  at  first  censured 
far  oftener,  among  their  mates,  for  showing  too  much  discipline  than  for 
too  little ;  and  that,  as  the  war  came  slowly  to  its  height,  the  value  of  this 
discipline  was  more  and  more  conceded  by  all.  That  great  drawback  to 
restraint  in  volunteer  regiments,  and  especially  in  rural  regiments,  the

2d  Army  Corps,  p.  229.    The  latter,  after  describing  the  utter  and  bewildered  terror  attributed,  perhaps 
unjustly,  to  some  of  the  German  regiments  at  Chancellorsville,  adds:   "  I  never  saw  an  American  so 
frightened  as  to  lose  his  senses,  though  I  have  seen  thousands  of  the  natives  of  Columbia  leave  one 
battlefield  or  another  in  the  most  dastardly  manner."

too  free-and-easy  familiarity  between  officers  and  men,  diminished  as  the 
war  went  on ;  and  all  learned  by  experience  the  absolute  need  of  military 
subordination,  whatever  the  relative  position  of  the  parties  at  home.1 

It  is  probable  that,  in  a  war  so  prolonged  and  desperate,  the  defects  in 
cident  to  volunteer  soldiers  were  much  more  than  counterbalanced  by  the 
personal  intelligence  and  endurance  of  that  class.  Maj.  G.  C.  Eggleston, 
a  Confederate  officer,  has  borne  remarkable  testimony  to  this  in  a  paper  in 
the  Century  War  Book.  He  says  of  Lee's  army:  "With  mercenary 
troops  or  regulars  the  resistance  that  Lee  was  able  to  offer  to  Grant's 
tremendous  pressure  would  have  been  impossible.  .  .  .  The  starvation 
and  the  excessive  marching  would  have  destroyed  the  morale  of  troops 
held  together  only  by  discipline.  .  .  .If  either  side  had  lacked  this 
element  of  personal  heroism  on  the  part  of  its  men,  it  would  have  been 
driven  from  the  field  long  before  the  spring  of  1865."'  It  is  the  recogni 
tion  of  this  fact  on  each  side  which  has  rendered  possible  the  mutual  good 
feeling  that  has  since  arisen  between  the  veterans  of  the  two  armies,  and 
which  has  nowhere  been  more  marked  than  in  Massachusetts.  After  a 
sufficient  number  of  years  have  passed,  it  is  impossible  not  to  recognize 
with  a  certain  appreciation  the  fighting  qualities  of  either  a  victorious  or  a 
defeated  foe.  The  same  fairness  extends  in  time  to  the  mutual  criticism 
of  leadership.  •  The  latest  Northern  writers,  as  Ropes  and  Dodge,  both 
Massachusetts  men,  have  sometimes  been  criticised  as  being  too  compli 
mentary  to  Lee  as  compared  with  Grant ;  and  Walker,  also  a  Massachu 
setts  man,  and  a  very  high  authority,  has  not  hesitated  to  bear  witness  to 
"  that  restless  activity,  unflinching  audacity  and  spontaneous  enterprise  by 
which  the  Confederate  commanders  were  so  strongly  marked,  but  in  which 
many  of  the  most  resolute  and  stubborn  fighters  in  our  own  army  seemed 
lacking."3  Even  he  would  doubtless  recognize,  however,  that,  after  the 
organization  of  Sheridan's  cavalry,  this  comparison  lost  some  of  its  weight. 
Certainly  the  soldiers  of  each  army  thoroughly  outgrew  the  delusion  with 
which  each  began,  that  the  other  army  would  be  easy  to  conquer.  "  Do

not  let  us  deceive  ourselves,"  said  Col.  James  Montgomery,  a  veteran 
Kansas  guerilla,  to  the  present  writer,  who  had  commented  on  the  under 
sized  and  underfed  men  who  had  once  been  brought  in  as  prisoners,  in 
Florida.  "  There  are  no  soldiers  in  the  world  more  formidable,"  he  added, 
4 'than  those  whom  we  have  to  encounter."  Should  this  reunited  nation 
ever  be  unfortunate  enough  to  be  entangled  in  a  foreign  war,  there  will 
be  an  inestimable  value  in  the  mutual  respect  and  confidence  which  were 
fought  out  by  both  North  and  South  upon  the  battlefield.  It  is  an  inade 
quate  compensation  for  those  four  years  of  sorrow,  yet  it  is  something. 


•XXVII.       THE    RETURN    OF    THE    FLAGS. 

There  occurred  in  Boston,  at  the  end  of  the  war,  a  ceremony  which 
came  the  nearest  attainable  to  a  general  review  and  reception  of  the  sur 
viving  Massachusetts  soldiers.  It  occurred  on  Dec.  22,  1865,  the  two 
hundred  and  forty-fifth  anniversary  of  the  landing  of  the  pilgrims  at 
Plymouth.  It  was  called  forth  by  the  following  orders  proceeding  from 
Governor  Andrew  :  — 

COMMONWEALTH  OF  MASSACHUSETTS. 

HEADQUARTERS,  BOSTON,  Dec.  13,  1865. 
[GENERAL  ORDER  No.  18.] 

By  General  Order  No.  94  of  the  War  Department,  issued  May  15,  1865, 
volunteer  regiments  and  batteries,  on  their  return  to  their  respective  States,  when 
mustered  out  and  discharged,  were  to  deposit  their  colors  with  the  chief  United 
States  mustering  officers,  to  be  by  them  transferred  to  the  governors  of  the  States. 

Since  that  time,  the  following  Massachusetts  regiments  and  batteries,  having 
faithfully  served  their  country  to  the  end  of  the  rebellion,  returned  home  and  been 
discharged,  their  colors  have  been  received  by  Brevet  Col.  F.  N.  Clarke,  U.  S.  A., 
chief  mustering  officer,  viz. :  2(1,  llth,  17th,  19th,  21st,  23d,  25th,  26th,  27th,  28th, 
29th,  31st,  33d,  34th,  35th,  36th,  37th,  38th,  39th,  40th,  54th,  55th,  56th,  57th, 
58th,  59th,  61st  Regiments  of  Infantry,  1st  Battalion  Frontier  Cavalry,  3d,  4th, 
5th  Regiments  of  Cavalry,  4th,  5th,  6th,  7th,  llth,  15th,  16th  Batteries  Light 
Artillery,  1st,  2d,  3d,  4th  regiments  of  Heavy  Artillery. 

On  Friday,  22d  instant  (Forefathers'  Day),  the  colors  will  be  escorted  from 
Colonel  Clarke's  headquarters,  No.  2  Bulfinch  Street,  to  the  State  House,  where 
they  will  be  formally  received  by  His  Excellency  the  Governor,  and  placed  in  the 
public  archives  of  the  Commonwealth,  to  be  sacredly  preserved  forever,  as  grand 
emblems  of  the  heroic  services  and  patriotic  devotion  to  liberty  and  union  of  one 
hundred  and  forty  thousand  of  her  dead  and  living  sons.

The  escort  will  be  performed  by  the  1st  Co.  of  Cadets,  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Holmes  commanding,  who  will  report  to  Brevet  Colonel  Clarke,  at  his  headquarters,

company  officers  of  Massachusetts,  and  especially  all  officers  and  past  officers,  and 
all  non-commissioned  officers  and  privates  of  the  several  organizations  named

officers  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  detail  a  color-guard  for  the  colors  of  their 
respective  late  commands.  The  original  date  of  muster-in  of  each  command  will 
govern  its  place  in  the  procession.  Officers  and  enlisted  men,  as  far  as  practicable, 
will  appear  in  uniform.

prior  to  May  15,  1865,  the  colors  of  which  are  deposited  in  the  State  House,  desire

1  The  names  and  facts  in  this  list  are  taken  from  the  Massachusetts  Adjutant-General's  Report  (Jan 
uary,  1866),  pp.  83-85.  The  rank  attributed  to  officers  is  in  some  cases  that  of  a  State  commission  issued, 
to  which  the  officer  was  never  actually  mustered.  There  was  no  Captain  Johns  in  the  49th  Infantry,  but 
the  officer  named  is  probably  Brevet  Capt.  H.  T.Johns  of  the  61st,  who  was  originally  a  member  of  the 
49th,  and  may  have  marched  with  it  on  this  day. 


THE  RETURN  OF  THE  FLAGS.  153 

/ 

The   streets  were  crowded  with  a  great  multitude  of  spectators,  and 

when  the  State  House  was  reached  General  Couch  addressed  the  Governor 
as  follows  :  — 

May  it  please  Your  Excellency :  We  have  come  here  to-day  as  the  representa 
tives  of  the  army  of  volunteers  furnished  by  Massachusetts  for  the  suppression  of 
the  rebellion,  bringing  these  colors  in  order  to  return  them  to  the  State,  who 
intrusted  them  to  our  keeping.  You  must,  however,  pardon  us  if  we  give  them 
up  with  profound  regret,  —  for  these  tattered  shreds  forcibly  remind  us  of  long  and 
fatiguing  marches,  cold  bivouacs  and  many  hard-fought  battles.  The  rents  in  their 
folds,  the  battle-stains  on  their  escutcheons,  the  blood  of  our  comrades  that  has 
sanctified  the  soil  of  an  hundred  fields,  attest  the  sacrifices  that  have  been  made, 
the  courage  and  constancy  shown,  that  the  nation  might  live.  It  is,  sir,  a  peculiar 
satisfaction  and  pleasure  to  us  that  you,  who  have  been  an  honor  to  the  State  and 
nation,  from  your  marked  patri6tism  and  fidelity  throughout  the  war,  and  have 
been  identified  with  every  organization  before  you,  are  now  here  to  receive  back, 
as  the  State  custodian  of  her  precious  relics,  these  emblems  of  the  devotion  of  her 
sons.  May  it  please  Your  Excellency,  the  colors  of  the  Massachusetts  Volunteers 
are  returned  to  the  State. 


Governor  Andrew  replied  in  the  following  address  :  — 

General :  This  pageant,  so  full  of  pathos  and  of  glory,  forms  the  concluding 
scene  in  the  long  series  of  visible  actions  and  events,  in  which  Massachusetts  has 
borne  a  part,  for  the  overthrow  of  rebellion  and  the  vindication  of  the  Union. 

These  banners  return  to  the  government  of  the  Commonwealth  through  welcome 
hands.  Borne,  one  by  one,  out  of  this  capitol,  during  more  than  four  years  of 
civil  war.  as  the  symbols  of  the  nation  and  the  Commonwealth,  under  which  the 
battalions  of  Massachusetts  departed  to  the  field,  they  come  back  again,  borne 
hither  by  surviving  representatives  of  the  same  heroic  regiments  and  companies  to 
which  they  were  intrusted. 

At  the  hands,  General,  of  yourself,  the  ranking  officer  of  the  Volunteers  of  the 
Commonwealth  (one  of  the  earliest  who  accepted  a  regimental  command  under 
appointment  of  the  Governor  of  Massachusetts),  and  of  this  grand  column  of 
scarred  and  heroic  veterans  who  guard  them  home,  they  are  returned  with  honors 
becoming  relics  so  venerable,  soldiers  so  brave  and  citizens  so  beloved. 

Proud  memories  of  many  a  field  ;  sweet  memories  alike  of  valor  and  friendship  ; 
sad  memories  of  fraternal  strife ;  tender  memories  of  our  fallen  brothers  and  sons, 
whose  dying  eyes  looked  last  upon  their  flaming  folds  ;  grand  memories  of  heroic 
virtues  sublimed  by  grief ;  exultant  memories  of  the  great  and  final  victory  of  bur 
country,  our  Union  and  the  righteous  cause  ;  thankful  memories  of  a  deliverance 
wrought  out  for  human  nature  itself,  unexampled  by  any  former  achievement  of 
arms;  immortal  memories  with  immortal  honors  blended, — twine  round  these 


154  NARRATIVE. 


splintered  staves,  weave  themselves  along  the  warp  and  woof  of  these  familiar 
flags,  war- worn,  begrimed  and  baptized  with  blood. 

Let  the  "brave  heart,  the  trusty  heart,  the  deep,  unfathomable  heart,"  in  words 
of  more  than  mortal  eloquence,  uttered,  though  unexpressed,  speak  the  emotions  of 
grateful  veneration,  for  which  these  lips  of  mine  are  alike  too  feeble  and  unworthy. 

General,  I  accept  these  relics  in  behalf  of  the  people  and  the  government. 
They  will  be  preserved  and  cherished,  amid  all  the  vicissitudes  of  the  future,  as 
mementos  of  brave  men  and  noble  actions.1 

With  this  closing  pledge  from  the  War  Governor  of  Massachusetts, 
this  brief  record  of  the  service  rendered  by  the  Commonwealth  may 
fitly  end.

CONDENSED  HISTORY  OF  REGinENTS, 


PREFATORY    NOTE. 


The  statistical  tables  here  given  are  in  many  cases  simply  approximate. 
This  is  the  case  in  all  similar  works,  but  it  is  not  always  acknowledged. 
Nothing  is  more  plausible  to  the  eye  than  a  compact  and  well-arranged  series 
of  tables  ;  and  they  may  look  just  as  imposing  when  they  are  not  worth  the 
paper  on  which  they  are  written.  All  that  has  been  previously  said  about 
the  difficulty  of  detailed  accuracy  applies  in  the  highest  force  to  these 
figures.  In  some  cases,  for  instance,  men  missing  after  a  battle  were 
promptly  dropped  from  the  regimental  rolls,  in  other  cases  they  were 
allowed  to  remain  indefinitely ;  in  some  cases  recruits  were  taken  up  on  the 
list  as  soon  as  the  names  were  forwarded,  in  other  cases  the  men  deserted  on 
the  way  and  never  appeared  on  any  regimental  list  at  all.  In  most  regi 
ments  there  was  a  mingling  of  men  enlisted  at  different  dates,  and  subject  to 
discharge  at  various  times ;  in  some  cases  three  months'  men  and  three 
years'  men  were  combined ;  in  some  cases  reduced  regiments  were  consoli 
dated.  There  were  cases  in  which,  on  the  return  of  regiments,  there  was  no 
mustering  officer  at  hand  to  muster  them  out ;  they  were  then  dismissed  to 
their  homes,  with  orders  to  come  back  on  a  certain  day  and  meet  the  officer. 
Some  of  these  men  did  not  take  the  pains  to  return  for  the  mere  technicality, 
and  thus  have  never  been  legally  mustered  out  to  this  day,  —  perhaps  stand 
recorded  as  deserters.  In  other  cases  men  were  transferred,  while  on 
detached  service,  from  one  regiment  to  another,  were  perhaps  dropped  from 
the  rolls  of  one  and  never  taken  up  on  the  rolls  of  the  other,  being  thus  left 
free  to  drop  out  of  the  ranks  altogether  if  they  wished.  Adjutants  were  ill 
or  were  killed,  and  their  notes  and  memoranda  were  taken  up  and  carried 
on,  after  a  fashion,  by  some  one  wholly  new  to  the  work.  There  are  at  this 


156  CONDENSED  HISTORY  OF  REGIMENTS. 

moment,  probably,  thousands  of  pension  applications  awaiting  action  and 
likely  never  to  be  acted  upon,  merely  from  complications  like  these ;  and 
there  were  very  few  regiments  whose  tabular  statements  are  not  embarrassed 
by  just  such  difficulties.  The  statistics  of  recruits,  in  particular,  are  some 
times  so  confusing  that  they  have  to  be  ignored  altogether,  thus  making 
the  aggregate  of  some  regiments  appear  lower  than  it  actually  was.  It  must 
be  distinctly  understood,  therefore,  that  the  following  tables  represent  in 
many  cases  only  approximate  figures. 

It  is  now  the  general  tendency  of  military  statisticians  to  class  the 
mortally  wounded  with  the  killed,  not  with  the  wounded ;  and  yet  it  is 
impossible  to  establish  any  but  an  arbitrary  limit  for  this  classification,  since 
a  man  may  be  mortally  wounded  and  yet  live  for  many  weeks  or  even 
months.  In  the  same  way  it  is  impossible  to  discriminate  positively  between 
those  mortally  wounded  and  those  dying  in  prison ;  or  even  to  determine 
whether  a  soldier  —  as  in  the  case  of  Stonewall  Jackson  —  was  killed  acci 
dentally  or  by  the  enemy.  In  all  cases  the  figures  here  given  replace  entirely 
those  given  in  a  circular  of  inquiry,  in  pamphlet  form,  printed  and  dis 
tributed  from  this  office  in  1891,  and  based  on  the  comparatively  scanty 
information  then  attainable.  None  of  the  present  tables  are  taken  from 
those  in  the  printed  regimental  histories,  though  much  use  has  been  made  of 
these ;  but  they  are  all  based  on  manuscript  name-lists  prepared  for  the 
purpose  and  founded  (1)  on  printed  State  records,  (2)  on  original 
muster  rolls  and  monthly  returns,  (3)  on  corrections  received  from  the 
United  States  War  Department,  usually  through  the  office  of  the  Massa 
chusetts  Adjutant-General,  but  sometimes  directly.  The  "  number  on 
regimental  rolls "  is  designed  to  include  every  individual  who  actually 
served  with  the  regiment,  but  not  re-enlistments  in  the  same  regiment. 
6 '  Casualties  by  engagements"  includes  men  killed  in  action  or  mortally 
wounded,  and  also  those  missing  in  action,  probably  killed.  No  attempt 
has  been  made  to  give  statistics  as  to  the  number  of  wounded  in  action, 
because  the  method  of  recording  these  differed  so  greatly  in  different 
regiments  —  some  officers  recording  very  slight  wounds  and  others  ignor 
ing  all  but  serious  ones — that  there  exists  no  solid  basis  of  comparison. 

The  prison  list,  which  follows  later,  is  mainly  prepared  from  several 
unofficial  manuscript  books  on  file  at  the  Adjutant-General's  Office, 
purporting  to  give  lists  of  Massachusetts  officers  and  soldiers  who  died 


PREFATORY  NOTE.  157 


either  in  Confederate  prisons  or  in  the  camps  of  paroled  prisoners. 
These  books  give  also  the  dates  of  their  supposed  deaths,  the  whole 
being  made  up  largely  from  the  affidavits  of  returning  comrades.  The 
precise  authorship  of  these  books  is  now  unknown,  but  they  were  probably 
compiled  under  the  general  direction  of  Col.  Gardner  Tufts,  State  Relief 
Agent  at  Washington,  who  was  in  the  habit  of  sending  out  men  to  meet 
returned  prisoners  and  to  obtain  information  as  to  those  left  behind. 
This  information  was  necessarily  hearsay  evidence,  and  in  many  cases 
may  have  proved  incorrect,  or  only  approximate.  It  was  easy  to  err 
in  regard  to  the  middle  initial  of  a  soldier's  name,  or  to  forget  whether 
he  had  served  in  the  2d  Infantry  or  2d  Cavalry ;  especially  if  he  had, 
as  sometimes  happened  to  a  prisoner,  exchanged  his  own  tattered  uniform 
for  that  of  a  dead  soldier  of  some  other  regiment,  possibly  from  some 
other  State.  The  actual  fact  of  death  was  also  sometimes  a  matter  of 
mere  surmise  ;  if  the  witness  said  that  a  certain  soldier  was  "  dying  when 
he  left,"  this  man's  name  would  naturally  go  upon  the  rolls,  although  his 
disease  might  in  twenty-four  hours  have  taken  a  favorable  turn,  so  that 
the  patient  actually  recovered.  The  only  possible  remedy  for  these  errors 
has  been  in  comparing  the  lists,  as  carefully  as  possible,  with  the  names 
and  records  to  be  found  on  the  original  rolls  or  in  the  best  regimental 
histories,  and  this  has  been  done.  Names  not  thus  confirmed  are  marked 
with  a  star,  and  any  additional  information  has  been  appended  in  foot 
notes.  It  has  been  thought  better  to  print  even  doubtful  cases, — the 
doubt  being  indicated,  — than  to  omit  any  that  may  possibly  be  authentic.

The  1st  Cavalry  was  made  up  almost  entirely  from  State  organizations  already  existing,  including  among  its 
early  volunteers  members  of  the  Boston  Lancers,  Waltham  Dragoons,  North  Bridgewater  Dragoons  and  Springfield 
Horseguards.  The  first  enlistments  were  made  in  the  early  part  of  September,  1861,  and  on  September  11  Robert 
Williams  of  Virginia,  captain,  assistant  adjutant-general,  U.  S.  Army,  was  appointed  by  Governor  Andrew  as 
colonel  of  the  regiment,  being  recommended  by  Gen.  Winfield  Scott.  The  1st  Battalion,  comprising  Cos.  A,  B,  C 
and  D,  under  Maj.  Greely  S.  Curtis,  left  Massachusetts  December  25  and  went  to  Annapolis,  Md.  The  2d 
and  3d  Battalions,  leaving  on  December  26  and  28,  remained  ten  days  in  New  York  and  then  went  on  to  Hilton 
Head,  S.  C.,  and  were  joined  in  a  short  time  by  the  1st  Battalion.  In  the  movement  against  Charleston,  S.  C., 
Colonel  Williams  commanded  the  brigade  of  which  the  regiment  formed  a  part.  The  let  and  2d  Battalions  joined 
the  army  of  the  Potomac  in  Virginia,  Aug.  19,  1862,  and  the  3d  Battalion  remained  in  South  Carolina  in  command 
of  Maj.  A.  II.  Stevens,  Jr.,  three  companies  being  stationed  at  Beaufort  and  the  other  at  Hilton  Head;  here  it 
remained  for  some  months,  engaging  in  picket  and  patrol  duty,  with  a  reconnoissance  Oct.  22,  1862,  to  Pocotaligo, 
8.  C.;  and  in  June,  1863,  a  detachment  on  duty  at  Folly  and  Morris  islands  took  part  in  the  siege  of  Fort  Sumter. 
On  Aug.  4, 1863,  the  battalion  was  permanently  detached  from  the  let  Cavalry  and  called  the  Independent  Battalion, 
Mass.  Cavalry  Vols.,  and  engaged  in  the  expedition  to  St.  John's  River,  Fla.  By  special  order,  dated  Feb.  12, 
1864,  the  Independent  Battalion  became  1st  Battalion,  4th  Mass.  Cavalry,  and  under  this  organization  was  ordered 
to  Virginia  in  May,  1864,  and  its  subsequent  history  will  be  found  with  the  4th  Mass.  Cavalry.  The  1st  and  2d 
Battalions  with  the  army  of  the  Potomac  took  part  in  the  marches  and  skirmishes  which  preceded  the  battles  of 
Antietam  and  Fredericksburg.  They  took  active  part  in  the  campaigns  of  1863-64,  a  new  battalion  of  four  com 
panies  joining  them  at  Warrenton,  Va.,  in  March,  1864.  The  regiment  was  stationed  on  provost  duty  at  City 
Point  in  March,  1865,  and  served  afterward  in  the  defences  of  Washington  until  mustered  out  June  26,  1865. 

Present  also  at  Poolesville,  South  Mountain,  Antietam,  Fredericksburg,  Chancellorsville,  Upperville,  Gettysburg,  ' 
Williamsport,  Culpeper,  Auburn,  fortifications  of  Richmond  and  Cold  Harbor.

The  2d  Mass.  Cavalry  was  organized  in  the  autumn  of  1862.  Co.  A,  the  first  company  formed,  being  raised  in 
California  by  Capt.  J.  Sewell  Read  in  November  and  December,  and  mustered  inftTservice  at  San  Francisco,  Cal., 
on  December  10;  it  reached  Boston  January  3,  and  was  counted  on  the  quota  of  that  city.  A  detachment  of  live 
companies,  mustered  in  at  Readville,  Mass.,  at  varying  dates  in  January  and  February,  1863,  left  Massachusetts 
Feb.  12,  1863,  under  command  of  Maj.  Caspar  Crowninshield,  and  went  into  camp  at  Gloucester  Point,  opposite 
Yorktown,  Va.  The  remaining  companies  of  the  regiment,  California  furnishing  four  of  these,  were  organized  and 
mustered  into  service  from  February  to  May,  1863,  under  Col.  Charles  Russell  Lowell,  and,  leaving  Readville  May 
\  11,  encamped  near  Washington,  m^y2nj^ai^m^jJjane_J3^q^o^ilejy^ne,l_Md.  On  August  6  the  detachment  at 


Gloucester  Point  joined  the  main  body  at  Centreville,  Va.,  and  the  regiment  was  united  with  the  13th  and  16th  N.  Y. 
Cavalries  to  form  a  brigade,  with  Colonel  Lowell  as  brigade  commander.  On  September  15  four  companies  were 
detached  under  Major  Thompson  and  sent  into  Maryland,  where  they  remained  until  the  spring  of  1864.  The  regi 
ment  remained  in  camp  at  Centreville,  Va.,  until  the  first  of  October,  on  Oct.  9,  1863,  moving  to  Vienna,  Va., 
where  it  remained  during  the  autumn  and  winter.  In  July,  1864,  the  regiment  took  part  in  the  defence  of  Washing 
ton,  and  as  part  of  the  3d  Brigade,  under  Colonel  Lowell,  was  in  constant  action  during  the  month  of  August.  At 
the  battle  of  the  Opequon,  September  19,  it  was  closely  engaged,  and  moved  afterwards  up  the  Luray  valley,  where, 
at  Luray  Court  House,  a  Confederate  flag  was  captured  by  Philip  Baybutt  of  Co.  A.  In  the  battle  of  Cedar  Creek 
the  regiment  met  its  saddest  loss,  Colonel  Lowell  being  wounded  there,  and  dying  the  next  day  at  Middletown,  Va. 
The  regiment  went  into  winter  quarters  iu  December  at  Winchester,  Va.;  and  at  this  time,  though  the  regiment 
numbered  1,100  men,  only  15  officers  and  500  men  were  present,  200  were  in  Southern  prisons,  over  200  absent,  wounded 
or  sick,  and  over  100  absent  on  detached  service;  in  January,  175  recruits  were  added.  In  February,  1865,  as  part  of 
the  1st  Division,  Reserve  Brigade,  the  regiment  advanced  to  Petersburg;  after  the  evacuation  of  Richmond  it  engaged 
in  the  pursuit  of  the  Confederates  until  the  surrender  of  General  Lee  at  Appomattox.  Having  encamped  for  a  time 
near  Petersburg,  it  took  part  under  General  Sheridan  against  Johnston's  army  ;  participated  afterward  in  the  grand 
review  at  Washington,  and,  after  remaining  in  camp  in  Fairfax  County  until  July  20,  1865,  was  mustered  out  at  Fair- 
fax  Court  House,  being  finally  paid  off  and  discharged  Aug.  3,  1865,  at  Readville,  Mass. 

Present  also  at  Fort  Reno,  Poolesville,  Summit  Point,  Luray,  Tom's  Brook,  South  Anna,  White  Oak  Road, 
Dinwiddie  Court  House,  Sailor's  Creek  and  Appomattox.

The  3d  Mass.  Cavalry  was  formed  June  17, 1863,  from  four  already  existing  organizations  :  the  1st,  2d  and  3d  Cos. 
Unattached  Cavalry  and  the  41st  Regiment  Infantry.  The  1st  Co.  Unattached  Cavalry,  organized  as  1st  Co.  Mounted 
Rifle  Rangers,  was  recruited  by  Capt.  8.  Tyler  Read  in  Boston  during  September,  1861,  and,  completing  its  organi 
zation  on  November  15,  with  the  2d  Co.  Mounted  Rangers,  under  Captain  Magee,  and  the  3d  Co.  Unattached  Cavalry, 
under  Captain  Durivage,  left  Boston  harbor  Jan.  13,  1862,  and  arrived  at  Ship  Island,  Miss.,  February  12.  Here  the 
three  companies  were  united  in  a  battalion,  with  Captain  Read  as  acting  major.  On  the  formation  of  General  But 
ler's  division  into  brigades,  the  companies  were  separated  and  the  1st  Co.,  forming  part  of  the  1st  Brigade,  on  April 
16,  1862,  left  Ship  Island  for  New  Orleans,  and  was  stationed  in  charge  of  its  defence  until  May  1, 1864.  The  2d 
Co.,  under  Major-General  Williams,  entered  in  the  engagement  against  Baton  Rouge,  and  after  the  evacuation  of 
the  city,  returning  to  New  Orleans,  remained  there  until  the  spring  of  1863.  Captain  Durivage  of  the  3d  Unattached 
Co.  was  drowned  in  the  Mississippi  River  on  April  23,  1862,  four  months  after  the  organization  of  the  company;  and 
Jonathan  E.  Cowan,  appointed  in  his  place,  being  on  leave  of  absence,  the  organization  served  under  Lieutenant 
Perkins;  in  September,  1862,  it  became  part  of  Weitzel's  Brigade,  and  encamped  at  Thibodeaux,  La.,  during  the 
winter  of  1862-63.  In  the  autumn  of  1862  the  41st  Mass.  Infantry,  the  remaining  organization  to  unite  in  forming  the 
3d  Cavalry,  was  recruited  at  Lynnfield  and  Boxford,  Mass.,  and,  under  Col.  Thomas  E.  Chickering  of  Boston,  it  left 
the  State  Nov.  5,  1862,  and  took  up  its  quarters  at  Baton  Rouge,  La.  Sharing  in  the  Teche  expedition  in  April,  1863, 
it  occupied  Opelousas  and  Barre's  Landing.  On  June  17  the  four  organizations  united  to  form  the  3d  Cavalry, 
under  Colonel  Chickering.  The  regiment  took  part  in  the  siege  of  Port  Hudson,  and  in  the  spring  of  1864  it  began 
its  part  in  the  Red  River  campaign;  in  the  latter  part  of  July,  organized  as  infantry, it  was  transferred  to  Maryland, 
becoming  part  of  the  2d  Brigade,  19th  Army  Corps,  and  engaged  in  the  battles  of  the  Opequon  and  Cedar  Creek, 
going  into  winter  quarters  at  Pleasant  Valley,  Md.,  on  Dec.  28,  1864.  In  February,  1865,  it  was  again  equipped  as 
cavalry,  and  in  March  returned  to  Virginia.  At  the  close  of  the  previous  year  the  three  independent  cavalry  com 
panies  were  mustered  out  and  their  places  were  rilled  by  other  Massachusetts  men.  On  May  20  those  who  had 
originally  formed  the  4 1st  Infantry  were  mustered  out.  The  regiment  left  Washington  for  Fort  Leaven  worth, 
Kan.,  June  14,  1865;  served  in  Kansas  and  Nebraska  during  the  summer,  and  was  mustered  out  of  service  Sept.  28, 
1865.  Proceeding  at  once  to  Boston,  the  members  of  the  regiment  were  paid  off  and  discharged,  October  5,  at 
Gallop's  Island. 

Present  also  at  Irish  Bend,  Henderson  Hill,  Georgia  landing,  Cane  River,  Muddy  Bayou,  Piney  Woods  and 
Snag  Point.

The  4th  Mass.  Cavalry,  under  Col.  Arnold  Augustus  Rand,  was  organized  Feb.  12,  1864.  The  first  of  the  three 
battalions  composing  it,  the  Independent  Battalion  Mass.  Cavalry,  at  that  time  stationed  in  South  Carolina,  was 
originally  part  of  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry  ;  and  the  record  of  its  service  from  December,  1861,  to  May,  1864,  forms  part 
of  the  history  of  that  regiment.  The  2d  Battalion  was  recruited  in  February,  1864,  and  left  the  State  on  March  20 
in  command  of  Maj.  David  B.  Keith;  the  3d  Battalion,  under  Major  Cabot,  left  on  April  23.  The  2d  Battalion, 
stationed  at  Hilton  Head,  S.  C.,  engaged  in  an  expedition  up  the  Ashepoo  River  in  May;  in  June  two  companies, 
under  Capt.  Joseph  W.  Morton,  moved  to  Jacksonville,  Fla.,  and  made  their  headquarters  there,  in  August  forming 
part  of  an  expedition  to  Palatka,  Fla.  In  July  a  detachment  of  the  battalion,  under  Captain  Staples,  engaged  in  an 
expedition  to  St.  John's  Island,  S.  C.  The  battalion  remained  stationed  thus  by  detachments  at  Hilton  Head,  S.  C., 
and  Jacksonville,  Fla.,  throughout  the  year  and  until  the  close  of  the  war.  Immediately  after  organization  the  1st 
and  3d  Battalions  were  ordered  to  Virginia;  the  3d  encamping  at  Newport  News  during  most  of  the  mouth  of  May, 
1864,  and  afterward  establishing  headquarters  at  City  Point,  Va. ;  while  the  1st  Battalion,  under  command  of  Captain 
Richmond,  moved  to  Petersburg,  being  in  action  at  Bermuda  Hundred  and  Drewry's  Bluff.  In  June  Cos.  E  and  H 
of  the  3d  Battalion,  under  Captain  Ray,  were  on  detached  service  with  the  18th  Army  Corps.  On  August  15  these 
two  battalions,  under  command  of  Colonel  Rand,  became  a  part  of  the  10th  Army  Corps  and  took  part  in  the  siege 
of  Petersburg,  remaining  thus  engaged  until  the  spring  of  1865.  Meanwhile  four  companies  we're  detached  and 
joined  the  24lh  and  25th  Army  Corps,  remaining  with  them  until  their  muster  out,  and  taking  part  with  them  in  the 
pursuit  of  the  Confederate  army  and  the  occupation  of  Richmond.  Cos.  I,  L  and  M  before  Petersburg  met  at  High 
Bridge,  Va.,  the  greatest  loss  which  the  regiment  suffered  during  its  service.  After  the  surrender  of  General  Lee, 
all  the  detachments  beiug  united,  the  regiment  remained  at  Richmond  during  the  summer  and  autumn  of  18f>5,  were 
mustered  out  of  service  November  14,  and,  returning  to  Boston,  were  paid  off  and  discharged  at  Gallop's  Island 
Nov.  26,  1865.

The  5th  Cavalry,  the  only  regiment  of  colored  cavalry  organized  in  Massachusetts,  was  recruited  in  the  autumn 
and  winter  of  1863  and  1864,  and  in  three  battalions  left  the  State  from  May  5  to  8,  1864.  The  1st  Battalion,  compris 
ing  Cos.  A,  mustered  Jan.  9,  1864,  and  B,  C  and  D,  mustered  January  29,  in  command  of  Maj.  Horace  N.  Weld, 
reached  Washington  May  7,  and  on  the  13th,  serving  as  infantry,  joined  the  brigade  of  colored  troops  at  Camp 
Casey.  Cos.  E,  mustered  February  10,  F,  February  23,  Q-  and  H,  mustered  in  March,  formed  the  2d  Battalion, 
commanded  by  Maj.  Z.  B.  Adams ;  and  with  the  3d  Battalion  comprising  Cos.  I,  mustered  March  26,  K  and  L,  mustered 
in  April,  and  M,  on  May  5,  joined  the  1st  Battalion,  at  Camp  Casey  before  the  14th  of  May.  On  the  16th  the  regiment 
was  assigned  to  the  3d  Division,  18th  Army  Corps,  and,  equipped  as  infantry,  was  stationed  at  City  Point,  Va., 
serving  in  detachments,  in  reconnoitring  expeditions  and  picket  duty.  The  most  severe  engagement  in  which  the 
regiment  took  part  occurred  at  Baylor's  Farm,  on  the  Petersburg  Road,  in  June ;  Colonel  Russell  being  wounded 
here,  the  command  was  assumed  by  Maj.  H.  P.  Bowditch.  For  a  time  the  regiment  was  a  part  of  Hincks'  Division, 
Wild's  Brigade,  18th  Army  Corps,  and  was  on  duty  before  Petersburg;  but  on  June  29  it  was  assigned  to  the  10th 
Corps,  and  was  stationed  at  Point  Lookout,  Md.,  during  the  remainder  of  the  year.  In  February,  1865,  under 
Colonel  Adams,  Colonel  Russell  having  resigned,  the  regiment  took  part  in  the  siege  of  Petersburg,  and  after  the 
surrender  encamped  in  the  vicinity  of  City  Point  until  June,  when  it  was  ordered  to  Clarksville,  Tex. ;  here  it 
remained  until  Oct.  31, 1865,  when  it  was  mustered  out  of  service,  having  been  since  August  1  under  command  of  Col. 
Samuel  E.  Chamberlain.  After  its  muster  out  the  regiment  returned  to  Massachusetts,  and  in  the  latter  part  of 
November,  1865,  was  paid  off  and  discharged  at  Boston.

The  1st  Mass.  Heavy  Artillery  was  recruited  as  the  14th  Mass.  Infantry  in  the  spring  of  1861,  most  of  its  members 
being  from  Essex  County;  it  was  mustered  into  service  July  5,  and  left  the  State  August  7.  Its  first  colonel 
was  a  West  Point  graduate,  and  had  served  in  the  Florida  Indian  wars.  It  served  for  the  remainder  of  the 
year  in  the  defences  of  Washington.  On  Jan.  1,  1862,  the  regiment  was  reorganized,  and  became  the  1st  Mass. 
Heavy  Artillery;  50  recruits  were  added  to  each  company,  and  two  additional  companies  were  formed.  The 
regiment  still  served  on  garrison  duty  in  the  forts  about  Washington;  it  was  sent  to  the  front  August  26,  and 
was  present,  though  not  in  action,  at  the  battle  of  Manassas.  On  Sept.  27,  1862,  a  battalion,  consisting  of  two 
companies,  was  detached  and  served  at  Maryland  Heights,  where  it  remained  until  December,  1863,  having  on  June 
10, 1863,  lost  44  men  as  prisoners  at  Winchester,  Va.,  and  having  taken  part  in  a  skirmish  at  Harper's  Ferry  about  the 
same  time.  On  May  17,  1864,  the  regiment,  acting  as  infantry,  joined  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  near  Bpotsylvania, 
Va.,  and  entered  with  it  into  General  Grant's  campaign  of  1864,  being  assigned  to  General  Tyler's  Division,  2d  Army 
Corps.  It  took  part  in  its  first  engagement  May  19,  1864,  on  the  Fredericksburg  Road,  near  Ny  River  in  the 
vicinity  of  Spotsylvania.  Afterwards,  as  part  of  the  2d  Brigade,  3d  Division,  it  was  engaged  in  the  battles  of  North 
Anna  and  Cold  Harbor,  and,  crossing  the  James  River  June  14,  it  took  part  in  the  assault  on  Petersburg,  June  16  and 
22.  The  regiment  remained  actively  engaged  in  the  siege  of  Petersburg  until  April,  1865,  and  took  part,  after  the 
fall  of  the  city,  in  the  pursuit  of  the  Confederates.  After  General  Lee's  surrender  it  was  stationed  at  the  forts  in 
the  vicinity  of  Washington  until  its  muster  out  in  August.  The  regiment  returned  to  Massachusetts  August  20,  and 
received  ita  final  discharge  and  payment  at  Boston,  Aug.  25,  1865.

The  2d  Maes.  Heavy  Artillery  was  organized  in  the  summer  of  1863,  and  assigned  to  service  in  the  department 
of  Virginia  and  North  Carolina.  The  1st  Battalion,  consisting  of  Cos.  A,  B,  C  and  D,  left  the  State  September  5  for 
New  Berne,  N.  C.,  and  was  stationed  at  the  forts  in  the  vicinity  of  that  city,  being  joined  in  November  by  Cos.  E 
and  F.  The  remaining  six  companies  left  the  State  Jan.  8,  1864,  and  were  stationed  at  various  forts  in  the  same  de 
partment.  In  March,  1864,  the  headquarters  of  the  regiment  were  at  Norfolk,  Va.,  where  four  companies  were  also 
stationed,  the  remaining  companies  still  serving  at  forts  in  Virginia  and  North  Carolina.  Almost  all  the  members 
of  Cos.  G  and  H,  stationed  at  Plymouth  under  captains  Ira  B.  Sampson  and  Joseph  R.  Fieke,  were  taken  prisoners  in 
the  engagement,  April  17-20,  and  the  survivors,  35,  were  released  and  joined  the  regiment  in  the  early  part  of  1865. 
In  May,  1864,  headquarters  were  changed  to  New  Berne,  N.  C  ,  and  in  August  375  recruits  were  added  to  the  regi 
ment,  more  than  rilling  its  ranks,  the  surplus  men  being  transferred  to  the  17th  Mass.  Infantry.  In  the  autumn  the 
organization  lost  many  men  by  disease  during  the  yellow-fever  epidemic  in  New  Berne  and  vicinity.  In  March, 
1865,  five  companies,  under  Lieutenant  Colonel  Sprague,  took  part  in  the  engagement  in  the  vicinity  of  Kinston,  N.  C., 
and  were  for  a  time  on  guard  at  Kineton.  In  June  the  regiment  was  for  a  time  united  at  New  Berne  and  remained 
there  until  July,  then  served  in  detachments  at  Wilmington,  N.  C.,  Sraithville  and  Fort  Fisher;  on  Sept.  15, 1805,  it 
returned  to  Massachusetts,  and  was  mustered  out  and  discharged  Sept.  23, 1865.

Co.  A,  formed  early  in  1862,  was  the  first  company  raised  of  those  which  formed  at  a  later  date  the  1st  Battalion 
Mass.  Heavy  Artillery.  It  was  organized  for  the  purpose  of  garrisoning  the  forts  in  Boston  harbor.  Co.  B.  was 
organized  in  the  autumn  of  1862,  and  both  these  companies  were  stationed  at  Fort  Warren,  Boston  harbor,  serving 
there  on  garrison  duty  as  the  1st  and  2d  COB.  Heavy  Artillery  until  the  spring  of  1863.  In  April,  1863,  these  com 
panies,  with  the  4th  Unattached  Co.  Heavy  Artillery,  mustered  April  22,  were  united  to  form  the  1st  Battalion 
Heavy  Artillery.  The  organization  was  enlarged  by  the  addition  of  the  5th  Unattached  Co.  in  June,  1863,  forming 
Co.  D,  and  by  Cos.  E  and  F,  added  in  August,  1864.  The  battalion  was  on  garrison  duty  at  the  forts  in  Boston  harbor 
throughout  its  term  of  service,  providing,  by  detachments,  garrisons  for  many  forts  along  the  Massachusetts  coast. 
Three  companies  were  mustered  out  in  June,  1865,  and  the  remainder  in  September  and  October  of  the  same  year.

The  First  Battery  Massachusetts  Light  Artillery  was  recruited  in  Boston  during  August  of  1861,  largely  from 
the  old  Boston  Light  Artillery,  or  Cook's  Battery,  Maj.  Asa  M.  Cook,  which  was  mustered  into  the  U.  8.  service 
May  18,  1861,  and  was  the  only  Massachusetts  battery  serving  under  the  first  call  for  troops.  The  First  Battery  left 
the  State  Oct  3,  1861,  spent  the  winter  of  1861-62  in  camp  about  Washington,  was  present  at  the  siege  of  York- 
town,  Va.,  and  at  West  Point.  It  entered  the  Peninsular  campaign  as  part  of  the  1st  Division,  6th  Corps,  and  took 
part  in  the  battles  of  Mechfinicsville  and  Gaines'  Mill,  Va.;  it  was  active  also  at  Glendale  and  Malvern  Hill,  Va.; 
engaged  in  the  march  to  Fredericksburg,  Va.,  in  November  and  in  the  battle  of  Fredericksburg,  Dec.  13,  1862. 
The  battery  was  in  camp  at  White  Oak  Church,  Va.,  during  the  winter  of  1863;  engaged  in  the  battle  of  Chan 
cellorsville,  Va.,  May  3,  1863,  Gettysburg,  Pa.,  July  3,  1863,  and  Mine  Run,  Nov.  30,  1863;  in  winter  quarters  at 
Brandy  Station  during  the  winter  of  1863-64;  many  of  the  men  enlisted  here  for  an  additional  term  of  service. 
The  battery  was  engaged  on  the  Po  River  on  May  9,  10  and  11,  1864,  and  in  operations  in  the  Shenandoah  Valley, 
also  the  battles  of  Spotsylvania  Court  Uouwe  and  Cold  Harbor,  Va.  Having  lost  40  men  sent  home  during  August, 
the  battery  was  active  in  the  battles  of  Opequon  and  Fisher's  Hill,  Va.;  after  this  engagement  the  veterans  not  re- 
enlisted  left  the  battery,  while  the  remaining  men  participated  in  the  engagement  of  Cedar  Creek,  and,  after  a 
short  interval,  85  of  these  were  transferred  to  the  9th  Mass.  Battery,  there  completing  their  term  of  service.  The 
battery  lost  in  all  55  horses  in  action.  It  was  mustered  out  Oct.  19,  1864.

The  2d  Battery  Massachusetts  Light  Artillery  was  recruited  in  Boston  during  April  and  May,  1861,  and  was  the 
first  battery  sent  forward  for  three  years'  service.  It  passed  the  year  1861  and  to  April,  1862,  in  garrison  at  Balti 
more,  Md.,  being  engaged  from  time  to  time  in  many  marches  into  Maryland  and  Virginia;  then  it  left  for  Louisiana 
as  part  of  General  Butler's  command,  assigned  to  General  Williams's  brigade,  and  encamped  at  Baton  Rouge,  La., 
until  it  engaged  in  the  Vicksburg  expedition  of  June-July,  1862,  returning  to  Baton  Rouge  for  the  engagement  of 
August  5.  During  December  of  1862,  General  Banks  having  succeeded  to  the  command  of  the  Department  of  the 
Gulf,  the  battery  was  assigned  to  General  Grover,  4th  Division,  19th  Army  Corps,  and  was  in  winter  quarters  at  Baton 
Rouge  until  March,  1863,  when  it  joined  the  expedition  against  Port  Hudson,  and  later,  after  its  return  from  the 
Teche  expedition  April-May,  1863,  it  went  again  to  Port  Hudson  and  was  engaged  in  the  siege  operations  there  until 
the  surrender.  Another  expedition  into  Louisiana  with  several  engagements  took  place  during  October  and  Novem 
ber,  1863.  The  battery  was  encamped  at  New  Iberia  and  then  at  Franklin  until  March,  1864,  when  it  engaged  in 
the  Red  River  campaign.  There  was  no  more  serious  fighting  for  that  year;  the  summer  was  passed  near  New 
Orleans  and  the  winter  at  Morganza,  La.,  after  which  with  Battery  5  it  was  sent  by  ship  to  Florida,  then  marched 
westward  through  the  swamps  to  take  part  in  the  operations  at  Mobile.  New  and  exhaustive  marches  followed  the 
engagement  there,  and  the  battery  suffered  great  losses  in  animals  and  equipments  at  this  time.  It  reached  Vicks 
burg  in  June  and  remained  there  in  camp  until  July  22,  when  it  left  far  Massachusetts,  and  was  mustered  out  at 
Boston,  Mass.,  Aug.  11,  1865.

The  3d  Battery  was  recruited  especially  among  the  friends  of  Senator  Henry  Wilson  of  the  22d  Mass.  Infantry, 
to  which  regiment  it  was  at  first  attached.  It  was  mustered  into  the  U.  8.  service  Sept.  5, 1861,  passed  the  winter  of 
1861-62  in  and  about  Washington  and  was  active  in  the  first  move  of  the  spring  campaign  of  1862;  part  of  the  battery 
was  engaged  at  Hanover  Court  House,  and  it  was  in  reserve  at  Mechanicsville,  Va.  Its  next  engagement  was  at 
Malvern  Hill,  Va.,  July  1, 1862,  with  no  loss.  One  section  of  the  battery  made  a  reconnoissance  to  Leesburg,  Va., 
Oct.  16-17, 1862,  but  as  a  whole  it  was  not  engaged  in  action  again  until  the  battle  of  Gettysburg,  although  it  followed 
the  5th  Corps  in  all  its  movements,  was  at  Fredericksburg,  Va.;  on  the  "  Mud  March;  "  and  in  position,  but  not 
actively  engaged,  at  Chancellorsville.  Though  the  battery  took  active  part  in  the  many  marches  of  the  autumn  of 
1863,  it  had  no  further  engagements.  It  entered  into  camp  for  the  winter  at  Bealton  Station,  Va.,  remaining  there 
from  December,  1863,  to  May,  1864.  In  May,  1864,  it  was  engaged  at  the  Wilderness,  Va.;  in  position  at  Laurel  Hill, 
Va.,  from  May  8  to  15  with  heavy  loss,  Captain  Martin  being  wounded  through  the  neck;  engaged  at  North  Anna 
River,  Va.,  May  23,  and  at  Shady  Grove  Church,  Va.,  from  May  30  to  June  3,  1864.  The  next  engagement  was 
before  Petersburg,  Va.,  where  the  battery  was  active  almost  continuously  from  June  18  to  Aug.  13,1864;  it  was 
engaged  in  the  expedition  against  the  Weldon  Railroad,  Va.,  Aug.  18-21, 1864,  remaining  at  that  place  until  the  expi 
ration  of  its  term  of  service;  the  re-enlisted  men  and  recruits  were  transferred  to  the  5th  Mass.  Battery,  and  on

Active  also  at  Fort  Blakely,  Ala.,  April  2-9, 1865. 

The  4th  Battery  Light  Artillery  was  composed  chiefly  of  men  from  Essex  and  Middlesex  counties.  Almost  im 
mediately  after  its  muster  in  October  and  November,  1861,  it  joined  General  Butler's  New  Orleans  expedition,  and 
was  among  the  troops  before  Forts  Jackson  and  Phillips  at  their  surrender.  The  battery  was  encamped  at  Carroll- 
ton,  La.,  until  June  16, 1862,  when  a  portion  of  it,  under  Lieutenant  Taylor,  engaged  in  action  at  Pass  Manchac,  La.; 
but  the  organization  as  a  whole  was  not  engaged  until  the  battle  of  Baton  Rouge,  La.,  Aug.  5, 1862.  It  was  stationed 
at  Baton  Rouge,  La.,  until  August  21  and  then  went  into  camp  at  Carrollton,  La.  On  October  28,  making  its  head 
quarters  at  Fort  Pike,  La.,  it  took  part  in  several  expeditions  by  water;  it  was  engaged  without  loss  at  Bonfouca, 
La.,  Nov.  26,  1862,  and  again  on  December  23.  The  section  which  accompanied  General  Weitzel's  brigade  through 
the  La  Fourche  district  was  engaged  at  Labadieville,  La.,  Oct.  25,  1862.  In  the  spring  of  1863  the  battery  took  part 
in  the  siege  of  Port  Hudson,  being  in  action  on  May  27  and  June  13  and  14.  It  was  next  engaged  in  the  expedition 
to  the  Teche  from  Oct.  3  to  Nov.  16,  1863,  being  engaged  at  Vermilion  Bayou,  La.,  October  9  and  also  on  No 
vember  11.  In  January,  1864,  almost  the  entire  battery  re-enlisted  as  veteran  volunteers,  and  were  on  furlough  of 
30  days  from  February  11,  after  which,  on  April  6,  it  was  stationed  at  New  Orleans,  La.  On  the  5th  of  September, 
1864,  it  was  transferred  to  Morganza,  La.,  and  on  September  16  engaged  in  an  expedition  to  Bayou  Fordoche;  a 
part  of  the  battery,  under  Lieutenant  Manning,  engaged  in  a  skirmish  to  the  Atchafalaya  River.  On  November  28 
it  was  transferred  to  Memphis,  Tenn.,  and  was  in  camp  at  Kennerville,  La.,  and  near  Fort  Gaines,  Ala.,  until  March 
17,  when  it  entered  into  the  movement  against  Mobile,  in  which  it  was  engaged  until  July  1.  The  battery  was  then 
ordered  to  Galveston,  Tex.,  and  remained  in  that  vicinity  until  its  return  to  Boston,  where  it  was  mustered  out 
Nov.  10,  1865.

The  members  of  the  5th  Battery  were  mustered  into  the  U.  8.  service  during  September,  October  and  November 
of  1861,  and  the  organization  went  into  camp  at  Readville,  Mass.,  Nov.  14,1861;  the  muster  of  the  battery  being 
completed  December  10,  it  remained  there  until  December  25  when  it  went  to  Washington,  D.  C.,  and  on  February 
13  moved  to  Hall's  Hill,  Va.,  and  encamped  there  during  the  remainder  of  the  winter.  On  the  4th  of  April  it  went 
forward  to  take  part  in  the  siege  of  Yorktown,  Va.,  and  was  engaged  on  that  day  at  Howard's  Mills.  It  remained 
encamped  in  the  vicinity  until  the  evacuation  of  the  town.  It  was  next  engaged  at  the  battle  of  Games'  Mill,  Va., 
June  27,  1862,  and  at  Malvern  Hill,  July  1.  After  this,  for  a  time,  owing  to  loss  of  guns  and  horses,  the  men  were 
attached  to  other  batteries  of  the  division,  but  in  October  the  battery  was  reunited  and  joined  the  1st  division,  5th 
Army  Corps,  at  Sharpsburg,  Md.  It  encamped  at  Warrenton,  Va.,  Nov.  9,  1862,  and  afterward  made  its  head 
quarters  in  the  vicinity  of  Stoneman's  Switch  for  the  winter.  In  May,  1863,  it  was  present  at  the  battle  of  Chancel- 
lorsville,  Va.,  and  it  was  engaged  at  Gettysburg  July  2  and  3.  After  this  battle  the  battery  was  on  the  march  to 
Beverly  Ford  on  the  Rappahannock,  and  on  November  7  it  took  part  in  the  engagement  at  Rappahannock  Station, 
Va.,  being  engaged  also  at  New  Hope  Church  November  27.  From  Dec.  6,  1863,  to  May  1, 1864,  the  battery  occupied 
winter  quarters  at  Rappahannock  Station.  On  May  5  it  entered  into  action  in  the  Wilderness,  Va.,  being  engaged 
at  Spotsylvania  May  12,  and  having  made  frequent  changes  of  position  with  slight  engagements  during  May,  on 
June  2  and  3  was  in  action  at  Bethesda  Church,  Va.  It  was  engaged  again  June  18,  1864,  in  front  of  Petersburg; 
encamped  at  the  Jerusalem  Plank  Road  until  July  29,  1864;  was  present  at  the  explosion  of  the  mine,  Petersburg,

with  1  officer  and  29  men,  their  term  of  service  having  expired,  but  the  battery  as  a  whole  continued  in  service  with 
the  5th  Corps  and  remained  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Jerusalem  Plank  Road  for  the  winter.  Its  final  action  was  in  the 
assault  on  Petersburg,  Va.,  April  2,  1865.  On  June  4,  1865,  the  battery  left  Virginia  for  Massachusetts,  and  on  the 
12th  of  June  was  mustered  out  at  Readville,  Mass.

The  6th  Battery  was  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  Jan.  20,  1862,  and  left  Boston  Harbor  Feb.  8, 
1862,  on  the  "Idaho  "and  reached  Ship  Island,  Miss.,  March  8,  going  into  camp  there.  In  the  month  of  March  a 
portion  of  the  battery,  under  Captain  Everett,  engaged  in  an  expedition  to  Biloxi  and  Pass  Christian.  The  entire 
battery  sailed  for  New  Orleans,  April  15,  to  take  part  in  the  operations  against  that  city.  After  the  occupation  of 
New  Orleans  the  battery  was  temporarily  divided,  one  section  under  Lieutenant  Carruth  and  the  two  others  under 
Captain  Everett,  each  detachment  engaging  in  various  expeditions  in  the  vicinity  of  New  Orleans,  but  the  battery 
was  reunited  at  Baton  Rouge,  La.,  for  a  time.  From  June  16  to  July  26,  1862,  two  sections  under  Captain  Everett 
were  engaged  in  the  Vicksburg  expedition;  a  section  under  Lieutenant  Carruth  remained  at  Baton  Rouge  during 
that  time,  twice  engaging  in  skirmishes  in  the  vicinity.  The  battery  as  a  whole,  in  command  of  Lieutenant  Carruth, 
was  engaged  at  the  battle  of  Baton  Rouge,  Aug.  5,  1862,  and  two  weeks  later  encamped  at  Carrollton,  La.  In 
October  the  battery  was  placed  under  command  of  General  Weitzel  and  engaged  in  expeditions  to  Donaldson- 
ville,  La.,  and  Bayou  La  Fourche ;  it  was  in  action  at  Labadieville,  La.,  Oct.  27, 1862,  after  which  it  went  into  winter 
quarters  at  Thibodeaux,  La.  Being  engaged  at  one  time  in  an  expedition  on  the  Teche,  it  moved  to  Brashear 
City,  La.,  and  then  to  Bayou  Boeuf  where  it  remained  until  April  2.  The  battery  as  part  of  the  1st  Division,  19th 
Army  Corps,  engaged  in  the  battle  of  Bisland,  La.,  April  12  to  13,  1863.  On  May  17  it  advanced  to  Port  Hudson, 
La.,  remaining  there  until  July  8,  being  engaged  in  the  assault  May  27.  The  battery  was  posted  at  Donaldsonville, 
La.,  from  July  10  to  30,  being  engaged  at  Bayou  La  Fourche  July  13.  It  was  encamped  at  Thibodeaux,  La.,  from 
July  30  to  Sept.  25,  1863,  and  on  October  6,  as  a  four-gun  battery,  was  sent  to  Berwick's  Bay,  where  it  lost  an  officer 
by  disease.  Leaving  Berwick's  Bay  October  11  it  was  on  the  march  through  Franklin  and  Opelousas  to  New  Iberia, 
La.,  where  it  went  into  camp,  November  16,  for  the  winter.  The  battery  left  camp  March  3,  1864;  nearly  all  the 
original  members  re-enlisted  at  this  time  as  veterans,  and  after  the  furlough  of  these  men,  April  13  to  May  23,  1864, 
the  battery  was  reunited  and  was  stationed  at  New  Orleans  during  the  year  1864.  The  original  members  by  order 
of  the  War  Department  were  mustered  out  of  service  Jan.  20, 1865.  During  the  month  of  January,  1865,  the  battery 
gained  121  members  by  recruits  and  transfers;  it  remained  at  New  Orleans  until  July  21  and,  sailing  on  that  day 
for  New  York,  it  reached  Readville,  Mass.,  August  1,  and  was  paid  and  disbanded  Aug.  10,  1865. 

Present  also  at  Biloxi,  Pass  Christian,  New  Orleans,  Brashear  City,  Ilouma,  Labadieville  and  Port  Hudson.

ing  into  camp  within  the  works,  it  remained  there  during  July  and  August,  part  of  the  time  under  command  of  Lieut. 
Ellis  Mott;  here  it  suffered  much  loss  by  disease,  the  command  being  reduced  to  50  men.  On  August  31  it  was 
temporarily  attached  to  the  2d  Massachusetts  Battery,  and  with  that  organization  took  part  in  the  Bayou  Teche  ex 
pedition,  October  and  November,  1863,  engaging  in  frequent  skirmishes  and  meeting  the  enemy  at  Franklin,  La.,

New  Iberia,  La.,  moving  with  it  then  to  Franklin;  here  on  Feb.  17,  1864,  it  joined  the  6th  Massachusetts  Battery, 
remaining  with  it  until  March  6  when  it  united  with  Battery  L,  1st  U.  S.  Artillery.  Attached  to  this  organization,  it 
took  part  in  the  Red  River  expedition,  meeting  the  enemy  in  a  skirmish  at  Pleasant  Hill,  La.,  April  7,  and  again  in 
a  more  serious  engagement,  April  9,  in  which  4  men  were  wounded  and  1  taken  prisoner;  engaged  also  at  Cane 
River  Crossing.  On  July  1,  1864,  the  battery  was  relieved  from  its  detached  service  and  reporting  to  Captain 
Hamlin,  again  an  independent  organization,  with  a  battery  of  4  guns,  went  into  camp  at  Greeneville,  La.  Here  it 
remained  two  months;  then  moving  to  Camp  Parapet,  La.,  it  remained  there  during  the  remainder  of  its  service, 
engaging  in  little  action  but  that  which  fell  to  them  in  the  routine  of  camp  life.  It  was  mustered  out  July  28,  1865.

The  1st  Mnss.  Infantry  was  composed  largely  of  the  1st  Regiment  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  under  command 
of  Col.  Robert  Cowdin,  who  became  colonel  of  the  1st  Infantry  when  the  organization  was  completed.  It  was 
mustered  in  May  23-27  and  was  the  first  three-years  regiment  to  arrive  at  Washington.  Having  left  Massachusetts 
June  15,  it  encamped  at  Georgetown  until  the  battle  of  Blackburn's  Ford,  in  which  it  took  a  most  active  part. 
In  August  the  regiment  became  part  of  General  Hooker's  Brigade,  and  was  encamped  at  Bladensburg  and  after 
wards  at  Budd's  Ferry,  Vs.,  until  the  spring  of  1862,  when,  as  part  of  General  Grover's  Brigade,  General  Hooker's 
division  3d  Army  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  the  regiment  moved  to  the  Peninsula  and  was  engaged  on  April 
26  in  front  of  Yorktown.  After  the  battle  of  Williamsburg,  May  5,  the  regiment  marched  to  White  Oak  Swamp 
and  encamped  until  June  25,  when  it  engaged  in  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks,  just  before  the  seven-days  battles,  in 
which  the  regiment  took  active  part.  At  the  close  of  the  campaign  the  regiment  encamped  at  Harrison's  Landing, 
until  with  its  division  it  joined  General  Pope's  army  at  Warrenton,  Va.,  and  went  into  action  at  Bristoe  Station 
August  27,  and  suffered  loss  at  the  battle  of  Manassas  August  29.  Returning  with  General  Pope's  army  after 
the  battle  of  Chantilly,  the  regiment  encamped  at  Fort  Lyon  near  Alexandria,  and  until  October  31  was  engaged 
in  the  defences  of  Washington.  About  this  time  Gen.  Joseph  B.  Carr  took  the  place  of  General  Grover  as  brigade 
commander.  The  regiment,  detached  from  its  division,  was,  during  November,  1862,  on  provost  duty  at  Fairfax 
Station,  but  took  part  with  its  division,  December  13,  in  the  battle  of  Fredericksburg,  encamping  afterward  for  the 
winter  at  Acquia  Creek,  Va.  On  April  27, 1863,  the  regiment  moved  to  participate  in  General  Hooker's  Campaign 
of  1863,  losing  heavily  at  Chancellorsvillc  and  Gettysburg.  After  the  battle  of  Wapping  Heights,  July  23,  the  regi 
ment  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  draft  rendezvous  at  New  York  city  until  October  15.  On  that  date  the  command 
was  ordered  to  join  its  brigade  at  Union  Mills,  and  was  in  the  actions  of  Kelly's  Ford  and  Mine  Run,  encamping 
at  Brandy  Station  for  the  winter.  On  May  3,  1864,  the  regiment  moved  to  take  part  in  the  spring  campaign,  and 
was  engaged  in  the  battles  of  the  Wilderness  and  8potsylvani;i.  These  battles  terminated  the  service  of  the  1st 
Regiment,  which  returned  to  Boston  May  25,  and  was  mustered  out.  Those  whose  terms  of  service  had  not  yet 
expired  were  transferred  to  the  llth  Mass.  Infantry.

The  2d  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  by  Col.  George  Henry  Gordon  (a  West  Point  graduate,  who  had  served 
eight  years  as  lieutenant  in  the  regular  army)  in  April,  1861,  and  began  to  be  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United 
States  May  11.  It  left  the  State  July  8,  and  joined  the  command  of  Major-General  Patterson  at  Martinsburg,  Va. 
On  July  18,  1861,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  Harper's  Ferry,  and  on  the  23d  Colonel  Gordon  was  placed  in  charge 
of  the  town,  General  Banks  succeeding  General  Patterson  in  command.  In  the  autumn  the  regiment  engaged 
in  the  movements  on  the  upper  Potomac,  being  stationed  at  Hyattstown,  Md.,  Darnestown  and  Seneca  Mills,  and 
making  its  winter  quarters  near  Frederick,  Md.  On  Feb.  27,  1862,  it  moved  towards  Winchester,  and  the  succeeding 
months  were  spent  in  movements  in  the  Shenandoah  Valley.  On  May  25  it  engaged  In  the  battle  of  Winchester, 
encamping  afterward  at  Williamsport,  Md.  At  this  time  Colonel  Gordon  was  promoted  brigadier-general,  U.  S. 
Vols.,  and  was  in  command  of  the  3d  Brigade,  1st  Division,  Army  of  Virginia,  of  which  the  2d  Mass.  Infantry 
formed  a  part,  at  the  battle  of  Cedar  Mountain.  As  part  of  the  12th  Corps,  the  regiment  fought  at  Antietam,  Septem 
ber  17,  and  encamped  afterward  in  the  vicinity  of  Harper's  Ferry,  moving  on  Jan.  19,  1863,  to  Stafford  Court 
House.  April  27  it  broke  camp  and  moved  forward  to  take  its  part  at  Chancellorsville  and  Gettysburg.  In  August 
the  regiment  was  stationed  at  New  York,  during  the  draft  riots,  returning  to  the  front  September  5.  The  regi 
ment  now  became  part  of  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland,  and  in  the  Atlanta  campaign  of  1864  formed  part  of  the  20th 
Corps,  under  Major-General  Hooker.  On  May  13,  with  the  Army  of  the  Tennessee,  it  took  part  in  the  march  through 
Georgia.  After  the  surrender  of  Atlanta  the  regiment  was  stationed  as  provost  guard  of  the  city  and  took  part  in 
Sherman's  march  to  the  sea,  under  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Morse.  It  received  at  Raleigh,  N.  C.,  the  news 
of  the  surrender  of  Johnston's  army,  and  after  participating  in  the  grand  review  at  Washington,  May  24,  it  served  on 
garrison  duty  there  until  its  muster  out  of  service,  July  14,  1865.  It  received  its  final  discharge  and  payment  at 
Readville,  Mass.,  July  26.

was  sent  to  assist  in  the  destruction  of  the  Gosport  navy  yard.  Four  three-years  companies  were  assigned  to  the 
regiment  during  May,  but  were  afterwards  transferred  to  the  29th  Mass.  Infantry.  It  formed  part  of  the  garrison  at 
Fortress  Monroe  until  July,  moving  then  to  Hampton,  Va.,  where  it  remained  until  its  return  to  Massachusetts

Recruiting  for  the  3d  Infantry  for  nine-months  service  began  Sept.  16,  1862,  and  on  October  22  it  left  Boston  for 
Beaufort,  N.  C.,  and  went  into  camp  near  New  Berne.  During  the  autumn,  detachments  were  on  duty  at  Newport 
barracks  and  Plymouth,  N.  C.,  the  detachment  at  the  latter  place  engaging  in  the  battle  on  December  10.  The  regi 
ment  was  employed  in  the  expedition  to  Goldsboro',  in  December,  1862,  being  present  at  the  battles  of  Kinston  and 
"Whitehall  and  taking  part  in  the  action  at  Goldsboro'.  It  was  on  duty  in  the  defences  of  New  Berne  during  the 
remainder  of  its  service,  engaging  in  frequent  expeditions  and  skirmishes.  In  April,  1863,  it  took  part  in  the  expedi 
tion  for  the  relief  of  Little  Washington,  N.  C.;  in  June,  the  regiment's  term  of  service  having  expired,  it  returned

Boston  April  16,  1861,  in  response  to  the  President's  first  call  for  troops,  and  on  the  17th  the  regiment  left  the  State 
for  Fortress  Monroe,  and  spent  at  the  fortress  and  in  the  vicinity  its  three  months  of  service.  On  May  27  it  moved 
to  Newport  News  and  remained  there  during  June,  working  at  the  entrenchments  and  engaged  in  scouting  and  guard 
duty;  while  there,  five  companies  were  detached  and  engaged  in  the  battle  of  Big  Bethel,  June  10.  The  last  week 
of  its  service  was  spent  at  Hampton,  Va.  July  18  the  regiment  returned  to  Boston,  and  was  discharged  July  22, 
1861.  It  volunteered  again  under  the  call  for  nine-months  troops  in  August,  1862,  and  the  companies  were  mustered 
in  on  dates  varying  from  September  1  to  December  16.  The  regiment  left  camp  at  Lakeville,  Mass.,  Dec.  27,  1862, 
reached  Carrollton,  La.,  February  13,  and  on  March  7  was  stationed  at  Baton  Rouge,  forming  part  of  the  1st  Brigade, 
3d  Division,  19th  Army  Corps.  It  formed  part  of  the  land  forces  in  reserve  at  Port  Hudson,  March  14,  when  Banks 
united  with  Admiral  Farragut  in  the  expedition  to  gain  possession  of  the  Mississippi,  and  returned  with  the  army  to 
Baton  Rouge,  moving  afterward  to  Bnishear  City.  It  engaged  in  the  attack  on  Fort  Bisland,  April  11-13,  and  joined 
in  the  pursuit  of  the  Confederates  as  far  as  Franklin.  On  its  return  it  was  stationed  at  Brashear  City  while  Banks 
was  engaged  in  the  march  to  Alexandria.  May  30  it  joined  the  army  before  Port  Hudson,  and  took  part  in  the  siege, 
two  companies  (under  Captain  Bartlett,  who  was  killed  in  the  action)  leading  in  the  assault  of  June  14.  After  the 
surrender  the  regiment  was  stationed  on  garrison  duty  at  the  fort  until  the  termination  of  its  service.  It  returned  to 
Boston  Aug.  17,  1863,  and  was  mustered  out  at  Lakeville,  Mass.,  Aug.  28,  1863.

Orders  for  the  mustering  of  the  8th  Infantry,  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  were  received  April  15, 1861,  and  the  regi 
ment  left  the  State  April  18,  one  company  from  the  7th  Infantry,  M.  V.  M.,  and  one  from  the  1st  Battalion  Infantry 
being  added  to  its  numbers.  In  command  of  Col.  Timothy  Munroe  it  proceeded  to  Washington  by  way  of  Annapolis, 
four  days  being  spent  at  the  latter  place,  and  here  Co.  K  was  detached  for  duty  at  Fort  McHenry,  Md.,  and  a  detach 
ment  of  the  regiment  also  engaged  in  conveying  the  frigate  "  Constitution  "  to  New  York.  The  remainder  of  the 
regiment  reached  Washington  April  26  and  was  mustered  into  the  United  States  service  April  30;  it  was  ordered 
into  camp  at  the  Relay  House  May  11.  While  here  Colonel  Munroe  resigned  on  account  of  illness  and  was  suc 
ceeded  by  Edward  W.  Hincks.  On  July  3  it  moved  to  Baltimore,  remaining  there  until  the  termination  of  its 
service,  July  29.  In  response  to  the  call  for  nine  months'  troops,  which  was  made  in  the  autumn  of  1862,  the 
regiment  again  went  into  service,  and  November  25  it  left  the  State  for  North  Carolina,  encamping  at  New  Berne 
upon  its  arrival.  Two  companies  were  detached  in  December  and  served  at  Roanoke  Island,  two  companies  joining 
them  in  February.  On  June  28,  1863,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  Massachusetts  to  be  mustered  out,  but  on  the 
30th  was  sent  to  Baltimore;  on  July  7  it  marched  to  Maryland  Heights,  and  on  the  12th,  joined  by  the  detached 
companies  from  Roanoke  Island,  it  moved  with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  to  the  Rappahannock.  On  July  29  the 
regiment  returned  to  Massachusetts  and  was  mustered  out  August  7.  In  July,  1864,  it  was  mustered  in  for  one 
hundred  days ;  this  term  of  service  it  spent  in  camp  near  Baltimore,  Md.,  doing  guard  and  hospital  duty.  It  prepared 
for  its  return  to  Massachusetts  on  October  28;  and  Nov.  10,  1864,  it  was  mustered  out  of  service  for  the  last  time.

The  9th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  in  April,  1861,  by  Col.  Thomas  Cass  who  early  in  the  month  requested  the 
Governor  for  permission  to  form  an  Irish  regiment  for  three  years'  service,  thus  making  it  the  first  Irish  regiment 
formed  in  Massachusetts;  in  consideration  of  which  it  carried  an  Irish  flag  as  well  as  the  national  and  State  colors. 
Its  members  were  recruited  from  all  parts  of  the  State;  and  eucampiug  at  Long  Island,  Boston  Harbor,  through  May 
and  part  of  June,  it  was  mustered  into  service  June  11, 1861,  and  left  the  State  for  Washington  June  25.  The  regi 
ment  encamped  at  Arlington  Heights  until  October,  moving  then  to  Miner's  Hill,  Va.,  where  it  remained  during  the 
winter  of  1861-62.  On  March  21,  1862,  it  embarked  for  Fortress  Monroe  to  engage  in  the  Peninsular  Campaign,  and 
took  active  part  in  the  siege  of  Yorktown.  After  the  evacuation  of  the  city  the  regiment  moved,  by  the  way  of  West 
Point  and  Cumberland,  to  White  House,  Va.,  and  on  May  25  encamped  at  Gaines's  Mill,  taking  part  in  the  battle  of 
Hanover  Court  House,  Va.,  May  27.  Returning,  it  remained  in  camp  afterward  until  June  26  when  it  took  part  in 
the  battle  of  Mechanicsville;  returning  on  the  next  day  to  Gaines's  Mill  to  meet,  in  the  engagement  there,  on  June 
27,  the  greatest  loss  suffered  during  its  service;  it  took  part,  with  loss  also,  at  Malvern  Hill  July  1,  where  Colonel 
Cass  was  mortally  wounded.  Returning  from  the  Peninsula,  the  regiment  was  engaged  August  29,  without  loss,  at 
Manassas,  and  moving  with  the  army  to  Washington,  began  its  march  into  Maryland  September  12,  being 
present,  in  reserve,  at  the  battle  of  Antietam  September  17,  and  engaged  at  Fredericksburg  Dec.  13,  1862.  After 
spending  the  winter  of  1863  at  Falmouth,  Va.,  the  regiment  was  engaged  at  Chancelioreville  (May  3)  and  Gettysburg, 
having  met  the  enemy  also  in  the  latter  part  of  May  while  on  picket  duty  on  the  Rappahannock.  Taking  part  in  the 
pursuit  of  the  enemy  after  the  battle  of  Gettysburg,  it  was  engaged  at  Wapping  Heights  July  24,  1863.  The  regi 
ment  encamped  afterward  at  Beverly  Ford  on  the  Rappahannock  and  remained  doing  picket  duty  until  September 
14,  engaging  then  in  the  actions  at  Rappahannock  Station  and  taking  part  in  the  Mine  Run  campaign  in  November. 
It  occupied  winter  quarters- at  Bealton  Station  until  April  30, 1864,  when  it  moved  toward  the  Wilderness,  and  going 
into  action  May  5,  took  part  in  the  following  days'  battles,  moving  with  the  army  and  engaging  at  Laurel  Hill, 
Spotsylvania  and  Cold  Harbor.  On  June  10,  1864,  its  term  of  service  expired  and  the  day  found  the  regiment  at 
Bottom's  Bridge,  Va.,  under  heavy  fire;  it  withdrew  to  White  House  Landing  and  on  June  12  arrived  at  Washing 
ton.  Reaching  Massachusetts  on  the  loth,  it  was  mustered  out  at  Boston,  June  21,  1864.

The  llth  Maes.  Infantry,  known  as  the  Boston  Volunteers,  was  recruited  chiefly  in  Boston  by  Col.  George  Clark, 
Jr.,  in  April,  1861,  and,  when  eight  companies  were  filled,  was  ordered  to  Fort  Warren,  Boston  Harbor;  there  two 
companies  were  added  and  on  June  13  it  was  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States.  On  June  29  it  left  the 
State  for  Washington  and  arriving,  encamped  near  the  city.  It  took  part  in  the  battle  of  Bull  Run  July  21,  and  as 
part  of  Hooker's  Brigade  moved,  August  9,  to  Bladensburg,  Md.,  going  into  winter  quarters  at  Budd's  Ferry  October 
27.  April  5,  1862,  the  regiment,  now  a  part  of  Grover's  Brigade,  Hooker's  Division,  embarked  for  the  peninsula, 
and  took  part  at  the  siege  of  Yorktown,  engaging  on  April  26  in  the  assault  and  capture  of  a  Confederate  lunette. 
At  the  battle  of  Williamsburg,  May  5,  it  was  engaged  early  in  the  day  and  again  in  the  afternoon.  Encamping 
during  June  at  White  Oak  Swamp,  it  was  active  at  Oak  Grove  June  25,  and  took  part  at  Savage's  Station,  Glendale 
and  Malvern  Hill.  During  the  encampment  at  Harrison's  Landing  the  regiment  engaged  in  the  action  at  Malvern 
Hill,  August  5.  It  was  in  action  at  Catlett's  Station,  August  27,  and  was  closely  engaged  in  the  afternoon  of  August 
29  at  Manassas  with  great  loss.  Marching  to  Alexandria  the  regiment  engaged  in  the  defences  of  Washington  until 
November  1;  then,  forming  part  of  a  provisional  brigade  und^r  Colonel  Blaisdell,  it  was  on  duty  at  Warrentou

At  Chancellorsville  the  regiment  was  engaged  on  May  2  and  3, 1863,  and  at  Gettysburg  lost  heavily  on  July  2.  It  took 
part  in  the  operations  near  the  Rappahannock  and  engaged  in  action  at  Locust  Grove  during  the  Mine  Run  campaign.

taking  part  in  the  struggle  at  the  "  Angle"  during  the  battle  of  Spotsylvania  Court  House  May  12,  and  joining  after 
ward  in  the  engagements  about  North  Anna  and  Cold  Harbor.  June  12  the  regiment's  original  term  of  enlistment 
expired,  and  the  men  whose  service  was  ended  returned  to  Massachusetts  and  were  mustered  out.  Many  men  had 
re-enlisted,  and  these  with  the  recruits  formed  a  battalion  of  five  companies,  commanded  by  Colonel  Blaisdell  and 
moved  with  the  army  to  Petersburg,  taking  part  in  the  assault  of  June  16-18,  and  engaging  afterward  in  the  siege. 
Colonel  Blaisdell  was  killed  on  the  skirmish  line  June  23.  The  regiment  took  part  in  the  final  operations  about 
Petersburg  in  March  and  April,  1865,  was  active  in  the  pursuit  of  the  Confederates,  and  present  at  the  surrender  of 
General  Lee's  Army  at  Appomattox.  At  the  close  of  the  campaign  the  regiment  was  stationed  at  Washington  until 
its  return  to  Massachusetts  and  its  discharge,  July  14,  1865.

May  1  the  companies  raised  were  stationed  at  Fort  Warren,  Boston  Harbor,  and  on  June  26,  1861,  the  greater  part 
of  the  regiment  was  mustered  into  the  United  States'  service,  the  organization  being  completed  July  11 ;  on  July  23  it 
left  the  State  and,  assigned  to  Abercrombie's  Brigade  of  General  Banks'  forces,  went  by  the  way  of  Baltimore  to 
Harper's  Ferry,  and  was  engaged  during  the  remainder  of  the  year  in  guarding  the  upper  Potomac;  moving  in  the 
autumn  to  Hyattstown  and  Seneca  Mills  and  making  its  winter  quarters  at  Frederick,  Md.  In  February,  1862,  the 
regiment  broke  camp,  and  entering  the  Shenandoah  Valley  reconnoitered  during  the  spring  and  early  summer  in  the 
neighborhood  of  Winchester,  Aldie,  Front  Royal  and  Manassas,  becoming  in  June  part  of  Ricketts'  Division, 
McDowell's  Corps,  Army  of  Virginia.  It  entered  at  dusk  on  August  9  into  the  battle  of  Cedar  Mountain  and  was 
closely  engaged  at  Manassas  August  30,  suffering  great  loss  in  the  death  of  Colonel  Webster.  As  part  of  General 
Hartsuff's  Brigade  in  the  1st  Corps  under  Hooker,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  the  regiment  took  part  at  the  battle  of 
South  Mountain  and  began  its  part  at  Antietam  early  in  the  morning  of  September  17,  at  Dunker's  Church,  losing 
heavily.  At  Fredericksburg  the  regiment  was  actively  engaged  in  the  afternoon  of  December  13  with  much  loss. 
Occupying  winter  quarters  near  Fletcher's  Chapel,  it  engaged  in  the  "mud  march*"  of  January,  1863;  it  was  active 
at  the  battle  of  Chancellorsville  and  was  engaged  at  Gettysburg,  meeting  its  principal  loss  July  1.  It  took  part  in 
the  march  to  the  Rappahannock  and  in  the  Mine  Run  campaign  in  November,  1863.  At  the  battle  of  the  Wilderness 
it  was  engaged  May  5  and  6,  and  shared  in  the  movements  to  Spotsylvania,  North  Anna  and  Cold  Harbor,  being 
constantly  in  action  with  frequent  losses.  June  16  the  regiment  moved  to  Petersburg  and  took  part  in  the  assaults 
of  the  following  days.  June  25,  1864,  the  regiment's  term  of  service  expired  and  it  retired  from  the  front;  the 
re-enlisted  men  and  the  recruits  were  transferred  to  the  39th  Mass.  Infantry,  and  returning  to  Washington  June  28, 
it  left  at  once  for  Massachusetts  and  was  mustered  out  of  service  on  Boston  Common,  July  8,  1864.

The  4th  Battalion  Rifles,  M.  V.  M.,  nucleus  of  the  13th  Mass.  Infantry,  and  forming  afterward  Cos.  A,  B,  C  and 
D  in  that  regiment,  was  ordered,  with  the  Roxbury  Rifles,  afterward  Co.  E,  13th  Infantry,  to  Fort  Independence, 
Boston  harbor,  May  25, 1861.  On  June  29  the  State  sent  five  companies  more  to  join  them  at  the  fort,  and  from  these 
organizations  the  13tb  Mass.  Infantry  was  formed,  being  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  July  16,  1861. 
Leaving  Massachusetts  for  Washington  July  29,  1861,  the  regiment  marched  immediately  into  Maryland,  receiving 
orders  to  join  General  Banks  at  Harper's  Ferry;  and  remained  on  duty  guarding  the  upper  Potomac  until  the  spring 
of  1862,  encamping  at  Sharpsburg,  Sandy  Hook  and  Darnestown  in  the  summer  and  autumn,  and  making  winter 
quarters  at  Williamsport,  Md.  March  1, 1862,  the  regiment  broke  camp,  crossed  the  Potomac,  and,  assigned  to  the 
2d  Division,  General  McDowell's  Corps,  Army  of  Virginia,  was  engaged  during  the  spring  and  summer  in  guarding 
the  north  bank  of  the  Rappahannock,  engaging  in  the  battle  of  Cedar  Mountain,  taking  a  most  active  part  in  the 
afternoon  of  August  30  at  the  battle  of  Manassas,  and  being  present  in  reserve  at  the  battle  of  Chantilly.  As  part  of 
General  Ricketts'  Division  of  Hooker's  Corps  at  Antietam,  September  17,  the  regiment  was  engaged  at  the  opening 
of  the  battle  early  in  the  morning  at  Dunker's  Church  with  great  loss.  After  taking  part  at  Fredericksburg  it  went 
into  winter  quarters  m-ar  Fletcher's  Chapel,  Va.,  joining,  in  January,  1863,  in  the  unsuccessful  march  toward  the 
Rappahannock.  The  regiment  took  active  part  in  the  spring  campaign,  meeting  its  principal  losses  at  Chancellors, 
ville  on  May  4  and  at  Gettysburg  on  July  1,  and  was  engaged  in  the  actions  near  the  Rappahannock  and  in  the  Mine 
Run  campaign.  The  regiment  was  in  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Hovey  at  the  Wilderness  in  May,  1864,  taking 
its  most  active  part  in  the  series  of  battles  on  May  5;  and  was  constantly  in  action  about  Spotsylvania,  North  Anna 
and  Cold  Harbor.  The  regiment  crossed  the  James  with  the  army,  and,  now  under  command  of  Major  Pierce,  took 
part  in  the  assault  at  Petersburg  June  18,  and  served  afterward  in  the  trenches  until  July  14,  when  its  term  of  service 
expired  and  it  withdrew  from  the  front.  Returning  to  Washington  July  17,  it  reached  Boston  July  21,  and  was 
mustered  out  of  service  Aug.  1, 1864.

*  The  Fourteenth  Massachusetts  Infantry,  having  been  converted  into  the  First  Massachusetts  Heavy  Artillery, 
has  already  been  inserted  in  its  place. 

1  Including  non-commissioned  staff. 


The  15th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  in  Worcester  County,  Mass.,  being  partially  based  on  militia  companies 
already  existing,  and  was  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  July  12,  1861.  Its  colonel,  Charles  Devens, 
Jr.,  at  the  time  of  his  appointment  stationed  at  Fort  McHenry,  Md.,  as  colonel  of  the  3d  Battalion  Rifles,  M.  V.  M., 
joined  the  regiment  in  July.  August  8  it  left  the  State  for  Washington,  and  two  weeks  later  moved  to  Poolesville, 
Md.,  and  was  stationed  on  the  upper  Potomac.  It  was  the  first  to  take  part  in  the  battle  of  Ball's  Bluff;  crossing  the 
river  the  night  of  October  20,  it  engaged  in  action  the  next  morning  and  shared  in  the  final  battle  of  the  afternoon, 
meeting  heavy  loss  in  killed,  wounded  and  prisoners.  In  February,  1862,  the  regiment  moved  to  Harper's  Ferry  and 
engaged  in  reconnoitering  in  the  Shenandoah  valley.  Returning  to  Washington,  it  joined  the  Army  of  the  Potomac 
on  the  Peninsula  April  1,  and  took  part  in  the  siege  of  Yorktown ;  here  the  Andrew  Sharpshooters  were  attached  to 
the  regiment  and  remained  with  it  until  the  spring  of  1863.  As  part  of  Sumner's  Corps  it  moved  after  the  surrender 
of  Yorktown  to  the  Chickahominy  River  and  encamped,  taking  part  in  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks  and  in  the  seven  days' 
battles.  It  returned  to  Alexandria  August  28,  and  marched  on  the  29th  to  Centreville,  returning  with  the  Army  of 
Virginia  to  Washington  September  2.  As  part  of  General  Seugwick's  Division  the  regiment  met  the  greatest  loss 
during  its  service  in  the  charge  made  on  the  morning  of  September  17  at  the  battle  of  Antietam.  It  was  engaged  at 
Fredericksburg  Dec.  13,  and  encamped  for  the  winter  of  1863  near  Falmouth,  Va.  May  2, 1864,  it  left  camp  and  took 
part  the  next  day  at  the  battle  of  Chuncellorsville.  At  Gettysburg  it  was  closely  engaged  July  2,  when  Colonel 
Ward  was  mortally  wounded,  and  it  took  part  also  July  3  and  4.  It  moved  with  the  army  into  Virginia  and  engaged 
in  the  Mine  Run  campaign,  encamping  afterward  for  the  winter  near  Stevensburg.  In  the  campaign  of  1864  the 
regiment  formed  part  of  the  1st  Brigade,  2d  Division  2d  Army  Corps,  shared  with  it  in  the  battles  of  the  Wilderness, 
May  5  and  6,  and  engaged  in  all  the  actions  about  Spotsylvania,  North  Anna  and  Cold  Harbor,  moving  to  Petersburg 
in  June,  greatly  reduced  in  numbers  by  losses  in  action.  On  June  22,  while  stationed  on  the  Jerusalem  Plank  Road, 
many  members  of  the  regiment  were  taken  prisoners.  July  12,  1864,  its  term  of  service  expired,  and  it  withdrew 
from  the  front  and,  returning  to  Massachusetts,  was  mustered  out  July  28,  1864.  Co.  I,  which  was  the  last  of  the 
regiment  to  be  mustered  in,  remained  behind,  and  was  discharged  at  the  expiration  of  its  term  in  August.  The  re- 
enlisted  men  and  recruits  were  transferred  to  the  20th  Mass.  Infantry.

The  companies  forming  the  16th  Mass.  Infantry  had  mostly  been  recruited  singly  in  April  and  May,  1861,  and 
being  united  at  Camp  Cameron,  Cambridge,  were  mustered  into  service  on  dates  varying  from  June  29  to  July  12, 
1861.  Under  command  of  Col.  Powell  T.  Wyman,  a  graduate  of  West  Point,  who  had  returned  from  Europe  to  offer 
his  services  to  the  government,  the  regiment  left  the  State  Aug.  17,  1861,  and  was  stationed  in  camp  near  Baltimore, 
Md.,  until  September  1;  moving  then  to  Fortress  Monroe,  it  encamped  near  Hampton,  Va.,  during  the  autumn  and 
winter  of  1861  and  1862.  In  May,  1862,  it  moved  successively  to  Portsmouth  and  Suffolk,  Va.,  and  Juno  12  joined  the 
army  of  the  Potomac  at  Fair  Oaks.  While  encamped  at  Fair  Oaks  the  regiment  made  a  reconnoissance  on  the 
Williamsburg  Road,  June  18,  with  great  loss.  It  took  part  in  the  battle  of  Oak  Grove,  June  25;  and  at  Glendale, 
June  30,  Colonel  Wyman  was  killed.  It  was  engaged  at  Malvern  Hill  July  1,  and  again  on  August  8  in  the  recon 
noissance  from  the  camp  at  Harrison's  Landing.  The  regiment,  in  command  of  Major  Banks,  and  forming  part  of 
Hooker's  Division,  arrived  at  Alexandria,  Va.,  August  22,  on  its  way  to  join  the  Army  of  Virginia,  reaching  Centre- 
ville  August  28,  and  took  part  in  the  charge  made  by  General  Grover's  Brigade  in  the  afternoon  of  August  29  at 
Groveton.  On  the  return  of  the  forces  to  Washington  the  regiment  remained  engaged  in  its  defences  until  Novem 
ber,  then  moved  to  Warrenton  Junction  as  part  of  Colonel  BKiisdell's  Brigade.  It  took  part  at  Fredericksburg  in 
December,  1862,  and  occupied  winter  quarters  at  Falmouth,  engaging  in  the  "  mud  march  "  of  January,  1863.  At 
Chancellorsville,  May  3,  the  regiment  met  heavy  lose,  and  its  division  commander,  General  Berry,  was  killed.  It 
was  closely  engaged  at  Gettysburg  in  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Merriam.  In  December  it  went  into  winter 
quarters  at  Brandy  Station,  having  taken  part  in  the  movements  about  the  Rappahannock  and  at  Mine  Run.  In  the 
campaign  of  1864  the  regiment  formed  part  of  the  2d  Corps,  and  was  engaged  at  the  Wilderness  May  5  and  again  on 
May  6,  taking  part  at  Spotsylvania  May  10  and  in  the  battle  of  Spotsylvania  Court  House  May  12,  when  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Merriam  was  killed.  It  engaged  in  the  actions  about  North  Anna  and  Cold  Harbor,  and,  moving  to  Peters 
burg,  it  took  active  part  in  the  assaults  of  June  16-18,  and  remained  afterward  engaged  in  the  siege  until  the  expira 
tion  of  its  term  of  service,  July  11 ;  withdrawing  from  the  front,  it  reached  Massachusetts  July  22,  and  was  mustered 
out  of  service  July  27,  1864.  Many  members  of  the  regiment  had  re-enlisted  during  the  previous  winter  for  an  addi 
tional  term,  and  these,  with  the  recruits,  were  attached  to  the  llth  Mass.  Infantry,  and  remained  in  service  until  the 
close  of  the  war.

The  17th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  during  July  and  August,  1861,  and  encamped  at  Lynnfield,  Mass.,  until  it 
left  the  State  on  August  23.  Thomas  J.  C.  Amory,  its  colonel,  was  a  West  Point  graduate,  and  at  the  time  of  his 
appointment  in  this  regiment  was  captain  of  the  7th  U.  8.  Infantry.  On  reaching  Baltimore,  the  command  was 
stationed  near  the  city,  forming  part  of  the  forces  under  General  Dix,  and  remained  there  until  the  spring  of  1862, 
when  it  moved  to  New  Berne,  N.  C.  In  December,  1862,  it  engaged  in  the  Goldsboro'  expedition,  taking  part  in  the 
battles  of  Kineton,  Whitehall  and  Goldsboro';  returning  to  New  Berne,  it  was  engaged  as  provost  guard  of  the  city 
until  the  latter  part  of  January,  1863,  encamping  afterward  on  the  Trent  River.  In  April,  1863,  it  was  sent  to  the 
relief  of  Little  Washington,  N.  C.,  taking  part  in  the  same  month  in  an  expedition  to  Core  Creek,  and  in  July  in  ex- 
peditions  to  Trenton  and  to  Mount  Tabor  Church.  In  February,  1864,  the  regiment  was  engaged  at  Batchelder's 
Creek  in  the  vicinity  of  New  Berne,  losing  a  number,  killed  and  wounded,  and  also  a  large  number  of  prisoners, 
many  of  whom  died  in  prison.  On  April  18, 1864,  it  was  sent  again  to  Little  Washington,  returning  to  New  Berne 
on  the  30th.  On  July  21  the  term  of  service  of  the  regiment  under  the  original  enlistment  expired,  and  those  whose 
service  was  ended  returned  to  Massachusetts  and  were  mustered  out  Aug.  3,  1864;  those  of  the  regiment  who  had 
re-enlisted,  and  the  recruits,  remained  at  New  Berne  under  command  of  Capt.  Henry  Splaine,  and  the  command  was 
enlarged  during  the  winter  of  1864  and  1865  by  the  addition  of  five  companies  transferred  from  the  2d  Mass.  Heavy 
Artillery.  Colonel  Amory,  commanding  the  sub-district  of  Beaufort,  died  of  yellow  fever  at  Beaufort,  Oct.  7,  1864. 
The  regiment  moved  to  Core  Creek  March  4,  1865,  and  from  the  8th  to  the  llth  of  the  mouth  was  engaged  at  Wise's 
Forks  under  command  of  Maj.  Wm.  M.  Smith,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Splaine  being  in  charge  of  the  brigade  of  which 
the  regiment  formed  a  part.  Joining  General  Sherman's  army  at  Goldsboro1,  N.  C.,  March  26,  1865,  the  regiment 
moved  with  it  to  Raleigh  April  14,  receiving  here  the  news  of  the  surrender  of  Johnston's  army.  May  5  it  left 
Raleigh  for  Greensboro',  N.  C.,  and  on  arrival  was  stationed  on  garrison  duty  there  until  the  close  of  its  service, 
July  11,  1865,  on  which  day  it  was  mustered  out,  and,  returning  to  Massachusetts,  was  paid  off  and  discharged  July 
26,  1865.

The  18th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  in  July  and  August,  1861,  and  on  August  26  left  the  State  as  a  battalion  of 
eight  companies,  in  command  of  Col.  (afterwards  brigadier  general)  James  Barnes,  a  graduate  of  West  Point.  The 
two  additional  companies  necessary  to  complete  the  regiment  joined  the  command  in  September  and  November, 
1861.  The  regiment,  forming  part  of  Martindale's  Brigade,  Porter's  Division,  3d  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  was 
stationed  for  a  time  near  Fort  Corcoran,  and  September  26  was  ordered  to  Hall's  Hill,  where  it  remained  until  the 
spring  of  1862.  In  March,  1862,  it  moved  to  the  Peninsula,  and  April  5  took  part  in  the  assault  at  Yorktown  and  was 
active  during  the  siege;  after  the  surrender  the  regiment  moved  by  the  way  of  West  Point  and  White  House  to 
Gaines's  Mill,  and,  arriving  May  26,  went  into  camp.  June  26,  detached  from  the  brigade  and  forming  part  of  the 
force  under  General  Stoneman,  it  was  ordered  to  White  House,  and  moved  later  by  the  way  of  Fortress  Monroe  and 
the  James  River  to  Harrison's  Landing,  where  it  arrived  July  2.  Under  command  of  Capt.  Stephen  Thomas,  the 
regiment  took  part  in  the  battle  of  Manassas  August  30,  with  great  loss.  It  was  engaged  at  Antietam  September  17, 
and  in  the  action  at  Shepherdstown  September  20.  At  the  battle  of  Fredericksburg,  as  part  of  Griffin's  Division,  5th 
Corps,  the  regiment  was  closely  engaged  on  the  afternoon  of  December  13  in  a  charge  upon  Marye's  Heights,  and 
occupied  an  advanced  position  December  14. 

The  regiment  moved  to  Chancellorsville  April  30,  1863,  taking  part  in  the  battle  on  May  2  and  3.  It  was  engaged 
July  2  and  3  at  Gettysburg,  and  took  part  in  the  engagement  at  Rappahannock  Station  November  7.  It  was  active 
later  in  the  Mine  Run  campaign,  and  encamped  for  the  winter  at  Beverly  Ford.  As  part  of  the  3d  Brigade,  1st 
Division,  5th  Corps,  the  regiment  went  into  action  at  the  Wilderness  on  the  morning  of  May  5,  1864,  was  engaged  at 
Laurel  Hill  May  8,  was  active  in  the  movements  and  engagements  at  Spotsylvania  and  North  Anna,  and  was  closely 
engaged  at  Cold  Harbor  June  1,  taking  part  in  the  movements  of  the  following  days.  It  crossed  the  James  River 
June  16  and  served  at  Petersburg  during  the  assault  of  June  18-21,  and  engaged  in  the  siege  during  the  remainder  of 
its  service.  The  regiment  left  the  front  July  20,  1864,  and  those  whose  term  of  service  had  expired  returned  to 
Massachusetts  and  were  mustered  out  September  2.  The  re-enlisted  men  and  recruits,  forming  a  battalion  under 
command  of  Capt.  Luther  S.  Bent,  remained  in  service  before  Petersburg.  On  October  26,  the  officers'  term  of  ser 
vice  having  expired,  the  command  was  consolidated  with  the  32d  Mass.  Infantry.

The  19th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  at  Lynnneld,  Mass.,  having  for  a  nucleus  three  companies  of  the  3d  Bat 
talion  Rifles.  Seven  additional  companies  from  the  vicinity  of  Boston  being  soon  added,  the  regiment  left  the 
State  August  28,  under  Col.  Edward  W.  Hincks  (then  Hinks),  who  had  served  as  colonel  of  the  8th  Infantry, 
M.  V.  M.,  during  its  three  months'  service.  It  was  stationed  in  camp  near  Washington  until  ordered  to  Poelesville, 
Md.,  September  12,  and  assigned  to  General  Lander's  Brigade.  It  took  part  at  Ball's  Bluff  October  21,  and  remained 
engaged  in  guarding  the  upper  Potomac  until  the  spring  of  1862.  In  March  the  regiment,  as  part  of  General  Sedg- 
wick's  forces  moved  to  the  Shenandoah  valley ;  returning  to  Washington  March  25,  it  joined  General  McClellan's 
forces  on  the  Peninsula,  being  assigned  to  the  3d  Brigade,  Sedgwick's  Division,  2d  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac. 
It  went  into  action  before  Yorktown  April  7,  and  took  part  in  the  siege.  After  the  surrender  it  engaged  at  West 
Point,  and  moved  then  to  the  Chickahominy  River  and  encamped,  engaging  in  June  in  the  seven  days'  battles,  losing 
heavily  at  Glendale. 

At  the  battle  of  Antietam,  forming  part  of  Sedgwick's  Division,  the  regiment  took  part  in  the  charge  on  the 
morning  of  September  17,  losing  very  heavily.  At  Fredericksburg,  under  command  of  Capt.  H.  G.  O.  Weymouth, 
it  volunteered  for  duty  in  the  crossing  of  the  river  and  the  attock  in  the  streets  of  Fredericksburg,  December  11. 

The  regiment  moved  May  2,  1863,  to  take  part  in  the  spring  campaign,  and  at  the  battle  of  Chancellorsville,  May 
3,  was  engaged  as  part  of  General  Sedgwick's  forces  at  Marye's  Heights  and  Fredericksburg.  At  Gettysburg  it 
was  engaged  July  2  and  also  during  Picketts'  charge  on  the  afternoon  of  July  3,  when  it  captured  the  flags  of  four 
Virginia  regiments.  Moving  into  Virginia  with  the  army,  it  took  part  in  the  engagements  about  the  Rappahannock 
and  in  the  Mine  Run  Campaign. 

During  the  winter  of  1863-64  many  members  of  the  regiment  re-enlisted  for  another  term  of  service.  It  was  engaged 
at  the  Battle  of  the  Wilderness,  May  6,  18G4,  as  part  of  Gibbon's  Division,  2d  Corps,  and  was  active  in  the  movements 
at  Spotsylvania,  North  Anna  and  Cold  Harbor.  Crossing  the  James  River  June  14,  it  took  part  at  the  assault  of 
Petersburg,  losing  many  from  the  regiment  as  prisoners  on  June  22.  Participating  afterward  in  the  siege,  it  shared  in 
the  engagements  at  Deep  Bottom,  Weldon  Railroad,  Boydtown  Plank  Road  and  Hatcher's  Run  and  was  active  in  the 
final  operations  about  Petersburg  in  March  and  April,  1865.  It  engaged  in  the  pursuit  of  the  Confederates  to  Appo- 
mattox,  and  encamped  after  the  surrender  at  Burksville,  Va.,  until  May,  when  it  returned  to  the  vicinity  of  Wash- 
iugton.  On  June  30, 1865,  it  was  mustered  out  of  service,  and,  returning  to  Massachusetts,  received  its  final  discharge 
and  payment  July  20,  1865.

The  20th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  at  Readville,  Mass.,  in  July  and  August,  1861.  The  officers  having  been 
mustered  in  during  July  and  the  main  body  of  the  regiment  August  28,  the  command  left  the  State  September  4  under 
Col.  William  Raymond  Lee,  a  graduate  of  West  Point.  As  it  was  not  yet  recruited  to  the  maximum,  two  officers 
remained  in  Massachusetts  for  further  recruiting.  The  regiment  was  sent  to  Poolesville,  Md.,  and  took  an  active 
part  at  Ball's  Bluff  October  21,  crossing  the  river  at  Harrison's  Island  about  noon  of  that  day  and  engaging  in  the 
battle  of  the  afternoon  with  great  loss.  Colonel  Lee  was  made  prisoner  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  Palfrey  took  charge 
of  the  regiment.  Under  his  command  it  moved  to  the  Shenandoah  valley  in  March,  1862;  returning  to  Washington, 
it  embarked  for  the  Peninsula,  becoming  part  of  Sumner's  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac.  It  was  engaged  during 
the  siege  of  Yorktown,  took  part  at  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks  May  31,  at  Allen's  Farm,  Savage's  Station,  Glendale 
and  Malvern  Kill,  engaging  again  at  Malvern  Hill  August  4.  Colonel  Lee  had  rejoined  the  regiment  just  before  the 
surrender  of  Yorktown. 

The  regiment,  as  part  of  Sedgwick's  Division,  joined  in  the  charge  in  support  of  the  1st  and  12th  Corps  on  the 
morning  of  September  17  at  Antietam.  At  Fredericksburg  it  formed  part  of  the  volunteer  force  to  cross  the  river 
and  advance  into  the  town  on  the  morning  of  December  11,  engaging  again  on  the  13th.  It  was  in  action  at  Chan- 
cellorsville  May  3,  1863,  and  was  engaged  at  Gettysburg  July  2  (when  Colonel  Revere  was  mortally  wounded),  and 
took  part  again  during  Pickett's  charge  on  the  afternoon  of  July  3.  "While  in  winter  quarters,  at  Btevensburg,  Va., 
173  members  of  the  regiment  enlisted  for  another  term  of  service.  As  part  of  the  2d  Corps,  the  regiment  shared  in 
the  engagements  at  the  Wilderness,  Spotsylvania,  North  Anna  and  Cold  Harbor,  engaging  in  the  assault  of  Petersburg 
and  in  the  siege.  On  July  18, 1864,  those  whose  term  of  service  had  expired  returned  to  Massachusetts  and  were  mus 
tered  out.  About  200  men  were  added  to  the  regiment  from  the  15th  Mass.  Infantry,  and  it  continued  in  service  in 
the  trenches,  under  command  of  Major  Patten.  At  Reams'  Station,  August  25,  nearly  all  the  members  of  the  regi 
ment  were  taken  prisoners.  Its  ranks  much  depleted,  it  took  part  in  the  final  operations  about  Petersburg,  and, 
following  the  Confederates  to  Farrnville  and  Appomattox,  encamped,  aftrr  the  surrender,  at  Burke's  Station,  Va. 
Taking  part  in  the  grand  review  at  Washington  May  23,  it  encamped  near  the  capitol  until  its  muster  out  on  July  15, 
and,  returning  to  Massachusetts,  it  received  its  final  discharge  and  payment  July  28,  1865.

The  21st  Mass.  Infantry  was  organized  during  July  and  August,  1861,  in  camp  at  Worcester,  Mass.,  and  was 
mustered  into  service  on  varying  dates  from  August  16  to  the  23d,  when  it  left  the  State  in  command  of  Col.  Au 
gustus  Morse,  and,  remaining  in  Baltimore  a  few  days,  moved  on  the  29th  to  Annapolis,  Md.,  and  encamped.  On 
September  17  the  regiment  was  remustered.  In  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Maggi,  and  forming  part  of  Gen 
eral  Reno's  brigade,  it  sailed  January  9  for  North  Carolina  in  the  Burnside  expedition.  It  suffered  loss  in  the 
charge  and  capture  of  the  enemy's  works  at  the  battle  of  Roanoke  Island  February  8,  was  closely  engaged  at  New 
Berne  March  14,  and  took  part  in  the  expedition  to  Camden  April  17-22.  The  regiment  moved  with  its  brigade  to 
Newport  News  July  6,  becoming  part  of  the  2d  Brigade,  Reno's  Division,  9th  Army  Corps.  Joining  General  Pope's 
forces  at  the  Rapidan,  it  engaged  at  Manassas  August  30,  and  met  heavy  loss  at  Chantilly  September  1.  It  was 
engaged  at  South  Mountain  and  Antietam,  and  was  active  at  Fredericksburg,  encamping  afterward  at  Falmouth,  Va. 
Leaving  camp  Feb.  9,  1863,  the  regiment  moved  to  Kentucky,  to  serve  as  part  of  the  9th  Corps  in  the  department  of 
the  Ohio,  and  went  into  camp  at  Mt.  Sterling,  Ky.,  April  3,  moving  in  July  to  Lexington  and  in  August  to  Camp 
Xelfton  on  the  Kentucky  River.  On  September  12  it  left  camp  for  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  and  engaged  in  action  at  Blue 
Springs  October  10  and  at  Campbell's  Station  November  16.  During  the  siege  of  Knoxville  it  took  part  in  a  charge  on 
the  morning  of  November  24.  While  encamped  near  Rutledge,  Tenn.,  after  the  raising  of  the  siege,  all  but  24  of  the 
members  of  the  regiment  re-enlisted  for  another  term,  and  January  .7  left  camp  to  spend  their  furlough  in  Massachu 
setts.  Leaving  the  State  March  18,  on  its  return  to  duty  the  command  joined  the  9tb  Corps  at  Annapolis  and  became 
part  of  the  2d  brigade,  General  Stevenson's  division.  It  took  part  at  the  Wilderness  May  6  and  was  active  at  Spot- 
sylvania  May  10,  12  and  18;  it  shared  in  the  movements  to  North  Anna  and  in  the  engagements  at  Cold  Harbor. 
Reaching  the  vicinity  of  Petersburg  June  16,  it  took  part  in  the  assault  on  that  day  and  was  closely  engaged 
again  on  the  17th.  The  regiment  shared  afterward  in  the  duties  of  the  siege,  taking  part  with  its  division  in  the 
charge  at  the  "  Crater  "  July  30.  On  August  22  those  whose  term  of  service  had  expired  returned  to  Massachusetts 
and  were  mustered  out  Aug.  30,  1864.  The  remainder,  as  a  battalion  of  three  companies,  under  command  of  Capt. 
Orange  S.  Sampson,  still  serving  in  the  trenches,  engaged  in  action  at  the  Weldon  Railroad  in  August,  and  at  Poplar 
Spring  Church  on  September  30,  when  Captain  Sampson  was  killed.  On  Oct.  21, 1864,  the  command  was  transferred 
to  the  36th  Mass.  Infantry  by  order  of  the  War  Department.

The  22d  Mass.  Infantry  was  raised  through  the  efforts  of  Senator  Henry  Wilson,  who  became  its  colonel  fora 
short  time.  Many  of  the  companies  were  recruited  by  men  who  had  just  returned  from  three  months'  service  in  the 
militia  regiments.  The  2d  Co.  Sharpshooters  was  attached  to  the  regiment  during  its  service.  Oct.  8,  1861,  the  regi 
ment  left  the  State  for  Washington,  and  on  the  13th  was  stationed  in  camp  at  Hall's  Hill,  where  it  remained  until  the 
spring  of  1862.  Col.  Henry  Wilson  resigned  Oct.  29, 1861,  and  Jesse  A.  Gove,  captain  of  the  10th  U.  S.  Infantry,  was 
appointed  in  his  place.  March  21  the  regiment  sailed  for  Fortress  Monroe,  to  take  part  in  the  Peninsular  campaign. 
It  was  active  in  the  assault  of  Yorktown  April  5,  engaging  afterward  in  the  siege;  after  the  surrender  of  the  city  it 
moved  by  the  way  of  West  Point  and  Cumberland  Landing  to  White  House,  and  May  26  reached  Guinea's  Mill  and 
encamped,  taking  part  the  next  day  in  the  battle  of  Hanover  Court  House.  Assigned  to  the  1st  Brigade,  1st  Division, 
5th  Corps,  the  regiment  was  engaged  at  Mechanicsville  June  26,  taking  part  the  next  day  in  the  battle  of  Gaines's 
Mill,  in  which  it  suffered  great  loss  and  in  which  Colonel  Gove  was  killed,  Captain  Sampson  taking  his  place  in  com 
mand  of  the  regiment.  It  was  in  action  at  Malvern  Hill  July  1,  under  Capt.  David  K.  Wardwell,  and  arrived  at  Har 
rison's  Landing  July  2.  The  regiment  was  in  action  near  Manassas  August  29,  and,  forming  for  a  time  part  of  the 
2d  Brigade,  moved  August  30  to  Centreville.  It  engaged  at  the  battle  of  Antietam,  and  took  part  in  the  action  at 
Shepherdstown  September  20.  At  Frcdericksburg  it  occupied  an  advanced  position  during  December  13  and  14. 
The  regiment  was  engaged  at  Chancellorsville  May  3,  1863,  and  took  part  in  the  cavalry  battle  at  Aldie  in  June.  It 
was  engaged  at  Gettysburg  near  Round  Top  on  the  afternoon  of  July  2,  and  was  active  on  the  3d  and  4th.  In  the 
autumn  it  took  part  at  the  battle  of  Rappahannock  Station  and  in  the  Mine  Run  campaign,  encamping  for  the  winter 
near  Beverly  Ford.  At  the  battle  of  the  Wilderness  the  regiment  was  closely  engaged  on  May  5  and  again  May  7, 
taking  part  at  Laurel  Hill  and  Spotsylvania  and  engaging  at  North  Anna,  Totopotomoy  and  Bethesda  Church.  Mov 
ing  to  Petersburg,  it  took  active  part  in  the  assault  of  June  19,  and  engaged  afterward  in  the  siege.  August  8  the 
regiment  was  ordered  to  City  Point  for  guard  duty  at  the  government  machine  and  repair  shops,  and  remained  so 
stationed  until  the  termination  of  its  service,  Oct.  5,  1864,  when  it  returned  to  Massachusetts,  reaching  Boston 
October  10,  and  was  mustered  out  Oct.  17,  1864.  Many  members  of  the  regiment  had  re-enlisted,  and  Were  assigned 
to  the  32d  Mass.  Infantry.

The  23d  Mass.  Infantry  was  organized  during  the  summer  and  autumn  of  1861,  many  of  the  companies  being 
recruited  by  men  Avho  had  returned  from  three  months'  service  in  the  militia  regiments.  Under  Col.  John  Kurtz 
the  regiment  left  the  State  Nov.  11,  1861,  for  Annapolis,  Md.,  and  was  mustered  into  the  United  States  service 
December  5,  a  portion  of  the  men  having  been  mustered  as  early  as  September  28.  Forming  part  of  Foster's  Brigade 
and  taking  part  in  General  Burnside's  expedition  to  North  Carolina,  it  was  engaged  at  the  battle  of  Roanoke  Island 
February  8,  and  took  part,  with  loss,  at  New  Berne  March  14,  1862.  Forming  part  of  the  1st  Brigade  under 
Col  T.  J.  C.  Amory,  and  assigned  to  General  Foster's  Division,  the  regiment  was  stationed  at  New  Berne  until 
November,  serving  during  a  part  of  April  and  May  at  Batchelder's  Creek.  Five  companies  took  part  in  the 
Tarboro'  expedition  in  November.  In  December  the  regiment  took  part  in  the  Goldsboro'  expedition,  being  present 
at  the  battle  of  Kinston  and  engaged  with  great  loss  at  Whitehall.  It  left  New  Berne  in  January,  1863,  to  take  part 
in  the  movement  against  Charleston,  S.  C.,  but  returned  to  North  Carolina  in  April,  having  spent  a  month  in  camp 
at  St.  Helena  Island  and  much  of  the  remaining  time  on  transports.  It  remained  encamped  near  New  Berne,  engaging 
in  picket  duty  and  reconnoitering  expeditions,  during  the  summer  and  autumn  of  1863.  On  October  16  it  sailed  for 
Fortress  Monroe  and  went  into  camp  near  Newport  News ;  while  here  oyer  200  members  of  the  regiment  re-enlisted, 
and  in  January  returned  to  Massachusetts  for  furlough.  The  regiment  moved  to  Portsmouth  in  January,  1864,  en- 
gagi  g  under  command  of  Colonel  Ehvell  in  an  expedition  to  Smithfield  in  April.  As  part  of  Ileckman's  Red  Star 
Brigade,  a"d  serving  with  General  Butler's  forces  at  Bermuda  Hundred,  it  was  present  at  the  engagement  at 
Walthal  Junction  and* active  at  Arrowlield  Church;  it  took  part  early  in  the  morning  of  May  16  at  Drewry's  Bluff, 
with  great  loss;  Lieutenant-Colonel  Chambers  was  mortally  wounded,  Captain  Raymond  taking  command  of  the 
retiiment.  It  formed  part  of  the  forces  sent  to  join  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  and,  reaching  Cold  Harbor  June  1, 
took  active  part  in  the  operations  there,  moving  afterward  to  Petersburg,  and  taking  part  in  the  siege.  On  September 
4  it  was  ordered  to  New  Berne  and  stationed  on  the  south  side  of  the  Trent  River.  On  September  26  those  of  the 
regiment  whose  term  of  service  had  expired  were  ordered  to  Massachusetts  for  muster  out.  In  March,  1865,  the 
regiment  took  part  in  a  movement  into  the  interior,  engaged  with  loss  at  Kinston,  and  was  stationed  near  the  town 
on  the  Neuse  River  until  ordered  to  New  Berne,  May  2;  here,  on  June  25, 1865,  it  was  mustered  out  of  service,  and, 
returning  to  Massachusetts,  received  its  final  discharge  and  payment  at  Readville,  Mass.,  July  12.

The  24th  Mass.  Infantry,  known  as  the  New  England  Guards  regiment,  had  as  its  basis  the  4th  Battalion  M.  V.M., 
whose  major,  Thomas  Greely  Stevenson,  recruited  and  organized  the  regiment  at  Camp  Massasoit,  Keadville,  Mass., 
during  the  autumn  of  1861,  and  became  its  colonel.  It  left  the  State  Dec.  9,  1861,  for  Annapolis,  Md.,  and,  being 
assigned  to  Foster's  Brigade,  joined  General  Burnside's  expedition  to  North  Carolina,  sailing  for  Hatteras  Inlet 
Jan.  9,  1862.  It  was  present  at  the  battle  of  Roanoke  Island,  February  8,  and  had  an  advanced  position  at  New 
Berne,  March  14.  Occupying  headquarters  at  Camp  Lee,  the  regiment  engaged  during  March  in  an  expedition  to 
Washington,  N.C.,  and  in  one  up  the  Neuse  River.  Three  companies  were  sent  to  Washington  again  in  May;  and 
the  remainder  of  the  regiment,  moving  there  in  June,  met  the  enemy  at  Tranters  Creek  June  5;  two  companies 
again  serving  on  detached  duty  at  Washington,  N.  C.,  from  July  8  to  September  12,  took  part  with  loss  in  the  en 
gagement  on  September  6. 

The  first  of  November  the  regiment,  with  the  exception  of  two  companies,  left  on  picket  at  New  Berne,  took  part 
in  the  Tarboro'  expedition,  and  engaged  in  the  Goldsboro'  expedition  in  December.  On  Jan.  29,  1863,  the  command 
was  ordered  to  St.  Helena  Island,  S.  C.,  and  was  engaged  July  16  and  18  on  James  and  Morris  Islands,  engaging 
afterward  in  the  siege  of  Fort  Wagner.  On  August  26  the  regiment  charged  and  captured  a  line  of  Confederate 
rifle  pits,  suffering  some  loss  in  the  engagement.  It  was  transferred  to  Florida  in  September,  and  remained  stationed 
at  St.  Augustine  during  the  autumn  and  winter  of  1863-64;  while  here  more  than  400  men  re-enlisted  for  another 
term  and  returned  to  Massachusetts  for  thirty  days'  furlough.  The  remainder  of  the  regiment,  transferred  to 
Jacksonville,  met  the  re-enlisted  men  at  Gloucester  Point,  Va.,  May  1,  1864,  and,  as  part  of  the  10th  Army  Corps, 
the  command  moved  to  Bermuda  Hundred.  It  took  part  at  Drewry's  Bluff  May  12-16,  and,  moving  with  the  brigade 
to  Deep  Bottom,  June  20,  met  heavy  loss  in  the  engagement  there  of  August  14-18.  Colonel  Osborn  being  in  com 
mand  of  a  brigade,  the  regiment  served  under  Captain  Maker  on  the  14th  and  under  Captain  Gardner  on  the  succeed 
ing  days.  On  August  26  the  regimen^  took  position  in  front  of  Petersburg  and  engaged  in  the  siege.  On  Dec.  9, 
1864,  the  last  of  the  men  whose  term  of  service  under  the  original  enlistment  had  expired  were  mustered  out.  The 
regiment  returned  to  Bermuda  Hundred  December  18,  where  it  remained  encamped  until  the  fall  of  Petersburg,  in 
April,  1865.  Ordered  to  Richmond,  Va.,  it  remained  on  guard  duty  in  the  city  until  January  of  the  following  year, 
having  received  two  officers  and  170  enlisted  men  from  the34ihand  14  men  from  the  40th  Mass.  Infantry  in  June,  1864. 
On  Jan. 20,  1866,  the  regiment  was  mustered  out  at  Richmond,  and  returned  at  once  to  Massachusetts  for  final  dis 
charge  and  payment.

The  27th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  in  the  western  counties  of  Massachusetts  by  Horace  C.  Lee,  afterward 
colonel  of  the  regiment,  in  September  and  October,  1861.  Most  of  the  men  being  mustered  in  September  27,  and  the 
line  officers  on  October  25,  it  left  the  State  Nov.  2,  1861,  and  encamped  near  Annapolis,  Md.  It  was  assigned  to  the 
1st  Brigade,  General  Burnside'a  forces,  November  27,  and,  leaving  Fortress  Monroe  for  South  Carolina  Jan.  11, 
1862,  took  part  at  the  battle  of  Roanoke  Island  February  8.  It  was  engaged  with  loss  at  New  Berne  March  14,  and, 
encamping  in  the  vicinity,  it  shared  from  time  to  time  in  outpost  duty  at  Batchelder's  Creek.  In  July  a  reconnois- 
eance  was  made  toward  Trenton,  N.  C.  It  remained  with  headquarters  at  New  Berne  during  the  summer,  and  in 
the  autumn  served  in  detachments  on  outpost  duty  at  Washington,  N.  C.,  Newport  Barracks  and  Batchelder's 
Creek.  Forming  part  of  the  3d  Brigade,  with  Colonel  Lee  as  brigade  commander,  the  regiment,  under  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Lyman,  took  part  in  the  Tarboro'  expedition  in  November,  and  later  in  the  Goldsboro'  expedition.  In 
January,  1863,  it  was  posted  at  Washington,  N.  C.,  and  was  active  there  in  the  engagements  in  March  and  on  duty 
in  the  town  during  the  siege,  returning  to  New  Berne  April  25.  Companies  G  and  H,  stationed  at  Plymouth  during 
that  time,  were  engaged  at  Rocky  Hoc  Creek  near  Winfield  in  March.  The  regiment,  reunited  and  stationed  with 
headquarters  at  New  Berne  until  October,  moved  on  the  16th  of  that  month  to  Newport  News,  and,  becoming  part 
of  General  Butler's  forces,  served  during  the  winter  as  provost  guard  at  Portsmouth  and  Norfolk.  At  this  time  343 
members  of  the  regiment  re-enlisted  ;  220  returned  January  15  from  a  month's  furlough  in  Massachusetts.  The  com 
mand  moved,  April  27, 1864,  to  Yorktown,  and  reaching  Bermuda  Hundred  May  5,  formed  part  of  Heckmau's  Red  Star 
Brigade,  18th  Army  Corps,  and  was  engaged  near  Port  Walthall  May  6  and  7,  at  Swift  Creek  May  9  and  at  Drewry's 
Bluff  May  14  to  16;  many  were  taken  prisoners,  including  Colonel  Lee.  Under  command  of  Maj.  William  A. 
Walker  it  joined  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  at  Cold  Harbor  June  1,  and  took  part  in  the  movements  and  engagements 
of  the  following  days,  losing  heavily  in  the  assault  of  June  3,  when  Major  Walker  was  killed.  It  was  actively  en 
gaged  under  Major  Moore  before  Petersburg  June  15  and  18,  and  took  part  in  the  siege  until  withdrawn  from  the 
front  August  25.  On  September  17  it  moved  to  Portsmouth,  and  those  whose  term  of  service  had  expired  left 
Fortress  Monroe  on  the  23d,  and  were  mustered  out  at  Springfield,  Mass.,  Sept.  29,  1864.  The  regiment  returned  to 
Beaufort,  N.C.,  September  21,  and  was  stationed  in  the  vicinity  until  the  spring  of  1865,  engaging  in  service  at  Plym

The  28th  Mass.  Infantry,  organized  at  Cambridge,  Mass.,  during  the  autumn  of  1861,  was  composed  principally, 
like  the  9th  Mass.  Infantry,  of  men  of  Irish  birth  or  descent.  It  was  mustered  into  service  Dec.  13,  1861,  and  left  the 
State  Jan.  11, 1862,  under  command  of  Col.  William  Monteith.  It  remained  at  Fort  Columbus,  New  York  harbor, 
for  a  month,  and,  embarking  then  for  South  Carolina,  reached  Hilton  Head  Feb.  23, 1862.  Becoming  part  of  General 
T.  W.  Sherman's  Expeditionary  Corps,  it  moved  in  April  to  a  position  on  Daufuskie  Island  opposite  Fort  Pulaski, 
serving  by  detachments  at  Jones  and  Bird  Island  and  at  Tybee  Island,  Ga.  Colonel  Monteith  being  detained  at  the 
latter  place  in  May  and  resigning  in  August,  the  command  of  the  regiment  was  held  by  Major  Cartwright.  It  was 
sent  to  James  Island  May  30,  becoming  part  of  the  1st  Brigade,  Stevens'  Division,  and  engaged  with  loss  in  the  action 
at  Fort  Johnson,  Secessionville,  June  16.  Returning  to  Hilton  Head,  the  regiment  formed  part  of  the  force  sent  to 
reinforce  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  and  reached  Newport  News  July  18.  Forming  part  of  the  9lh  Corps,  it  moved 
to  join  the  Army  of  Virginia,  and  took  active  part  at  Manassas  August  29  and  30  and  at  Chantilly  September  1. 
Moving  with  the  army  into  Maryland,  it  was  present  at  South  Mountain,  and  engaged  on  the  afternoon  of  September 
17  at  Antietam.  In  November  the  regiment  became  part  of  Meagher's  Irish  Brigade,  1st  Division,  2d  Army  Corps, 
and  met  heavy  loss  at  Fredericksburg  in  the  assault  on  the  heights  December  13.  It  was  engaged  at  Chancellors- 
ville  on  the  morning  of  May  3  and  lost  heavily  at  Gettysburg.  It  took  part  in  the  movements  about  the  Rappahan- 
nock  and  joined  in  the  Mine  Run  campaign,  making  its  winter  quarters  at  Stevensburg,  Va.  As  part  of  Colonel 
Smyth's  Brigade,  General  Barlow's  Division,  the  regiment  shared  in  the  engagement  at  the  Wilderness  and  in  the 
movement  to  Spotsylvania,  taking  part  in  the  charge  and  capture  of  the  salient  early  in  the  morning  of  May  12  at 
Spotsylvania  Court  House,  and  engaging  again  in  the  assault  on  May  18.  It  took  active  part  at  Cold  Harbor  June  3, 
when  Colonel  Byrnes  was  mortally  wounded.  Sharing  in  the  assault  of  Petersburg  June  16,  it  took  most  active  part 
afterward  in  the  siege,  engaging  at  Weldon  Railroad  in  July  and  at  Deep  Bottom,  Charles  City  Cross  Roads  and 
Reams'  Station  in  August.  Dec.  13,  1864,  those  of  the  regiment  not  re-enlisted  left  for  Massachusetts,  and  the 
remainder,  as  a  battalion  of  five  companies  under  Major  Fleming,  remained  in  service  before  Petersburg,  took  part 
in  the  final  operations  about  the  city  in  the  spring  of  1865  and  joined  in  the  pursuit  of  the  Confederates  to  Farmville. 
Encamping  after  the  surrender  at  Burkesville,  it  returned  to  Alexandria  May  15,  and  was  mustered  out  of  service 
June  30,  1865,  returning  to  Massachusetts  on  July  5.

Seven  companies  of  infantry,  recruited  for  three  years  in  April,  1861,  formed  the  basis  of  the  29th  Mass.  Infantry. 
Two  of  these  companies  were  sent  to  Fortress  Monroe  May  10,  and  the  others  followed  on  the  18th  and  22d.  They 
were  assigned  to  the  3d  and  4th  Infantries,  M.  V.  M.,  and  served  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Fortress  with  these  regiments 
during  their  three  months'  term.  On  July  16  the  seven  companies  were  organized  as  the  1st  Battalion  Mass.  Volun 
teers,  under  Capt.  Joseph  H.  Barnes.  Still  serving  on  garrison  and  guard  duty  at  Fortress  Monroe  and  later  at 
Newport  News,  three  additional  companies  joining  the  command,  it  was  reorganized  Dec.  13,  1861,  as  the  29th  Mass. 
Infantry,  and  Ebenezer  W.  Peirce,  previously  brigadier-general  of  Massachusetts  militia,  received  the  appointment 
of  colonel.  The  regiment  formed  part  of  the  land  battery  during  the  contest  between  the  naval  forces  at  Hampton 
Roads  in  March,  1862,  and  occupied  posts  at  Norfolk  and  Portsmouth  in  May.  It  joined  the  Army  of  the  Potomac 
at  Fair  Oaks  June  9,  and  was  assigned  to  General  Meagher's  Brigade,  Richardson's  Division,  Sumner's  Corps;  It

The  31st  Mass.  Infantry,  under  the  name  of  the  Western  Bay  State  Regiment,  was  raised  in  the  autumn  and 
winter  of  1861-C2  by  General  Butler,  was  in  camp  at  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  and  moved  in  February  to  Camp  Chase, 
Lowell.  It  left  the  State  February  21  to  join  the  Department  of  the  Gulf,  under  command  of  Col.  Oliver  P.  Gooding, 
a  graduate  of  West  Point,  and  first  lieutenant  10th  U.S.  Infantry.  General  Butler  and  his  staff  embarked  at  Fortress 
'Monroe  on  the  "Mississippi,"  which  carried  the  regiment  to  Ship  Island,  where  they  landed  March  23,  having  been 
delayed  by  storms  and  accident  on  the  passage.  Soon  after  the  arrival  of  the  regiment  its  designation  was  changed 
to  the  31st  Mass.  Infantry.  Assigned  to  General  Williams's  Brigade,  it  took  part  in  the  operations  against  New 
Orleans,  was  the  first  regiment  to  enter  the  city  after  the  surrender,  and  was  stationed  on  provost  and  guard  duty  in 
the  city  and  at  the  forts  in  the  vicinity  during  the  summer  and  autumn.  On  the  organization  of  the  19th  Army 
Corps,  in  January,  1863,  seven  companies  of  the  regiment,  under  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Hopkins,  became 
part  of  the  3d  Brigade,  3d  Division,  with  Colonel  Gooding  as  brigade  commander,  the  three  remaining  companies 
having  been  stationed  at  Fort  Pike.  The  main  body  of  the  regiment  joining  the  forces  at  Baton  Rouge  March  6,  took 
part  on  the  14th  in  the  advance  made  to  assist  the  naval  forces  in  passing  Port  Hudson.  It  joined  in  the  Teche  ex 
pedition,  being  engaged  at  Fort  Bisland  April  13,  and  took  up  its  position  before  Port  Hudson  May  23,  sharing  in  the 
engagements  of  May  25,  27  and  June  14,  and  was  active  during  the  siege.  After  the  surrender  on  July  9  it  moved  as 
part  of  Weitzel's  forces  to  Donaldsouvillo.  In  December,  joined  by  the  companies  at  Fort  Pike,  it  was  armed  and 
equipped  as  cavalry  and  stationed  at  Carrollton,  being  familiarly  known  as  the  6th  Mass.  Cavalry. 

It  took  part  in  the  Red  River  campaign,  and  was  engaged  with  loss  at  Sabine  Cross  Roads,  April  8,  1864,  under 
command  of  Captain  Nettleton.  Many  of  the  regiment  had  re-enlisted  during  the  winter,  and  embarked  July  21 
for  their  furlough  in  Massachusetts,  returning  September  19,  those  not  re-enlisted  having  remained  during  their 
absence  on  guard  duty  at  New  Orleans,  under  Captain  Morse.  The  regiment,  still  serving  as  cavalry,  was  stationed 
at  Donaldsonville  in  November,  two  companies  being  detached  at  Plaquemine.  In  February  the  regiment  was 
organized  as  a  battalion  of  five  companies,  those  whose  term  of  service  had  expired  having  been  mustered  out,  and,

The  32d  Mass.  Infantry  was  formed  in  May,  1862,  from  the  1st  Battalion  Mass.  Infantry,  which  was  organized  in 
November,  1861,  to  garrison  Fort  Warren,  Boston  harbor,  and  remained  stationed  there,  under  command  of  Maj. 
Francis  J.  Parker,  during  the  winter  of  1861-62.  On  May  26,  this  battalion  of  six  companies,  reorganized  as  the  32d 
Mass.  Infantry  (Francis  J.  Parker,  lieutenant-colonel),  left  the  State  for  Washington.  Encamping  for  four  weeks 
on  Capitol  Hill,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  join  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  on  the  Peninsula,  and  July  3,  1862, 
arrived  at  Harrison's  Lauding  and  was  assigned  to  the  2d  Brigade,  1st  Division,  5th  Corps.  It  left  camp  August  15 
to  join  General  Pope's  forces,  and  reached  Warrenton  Junction  August  27.  Moving  with  the  army  to  Washington 
after  the  battle  of  Manassas,  it  camped  at  Miners  Hill,  and  three  companies  were  added  to  the  command,  one 
having  already  joined  the  original  six  companies  at  Harrison's  Landing  in  July.  The  regiment  was  present  at 
Antietam,  and  took  part  in  the  charge  and  advanced  position  held  by  Griffin's  Division  at  the  battle  of  Fredericks- 
burg.  It  was  in  action  at  Chancellorsville  May  3,  1864,  was  closely  engaged  at  Gettysburg  on  the  afternoon  of  July 
2,  present  at  the  battle  of  Rappahannock  Station  Nov.  7, 1863,  and  engaged  in  the  Mine  Run  campaign,  encamping 
at  Liberty,  near  Bealton,  Va.,  for  the  winter.  While  here  330  men  re-enlisted,  and  in  January,  1864,  returned  to 
Massachusetts  for  furlough.  The  regiment  left  camp  April  30, 1864,  and  was  in  action  on  the  afternoon  of  May  5  at 
the  Wilderness,  engaging  constantly  on  the  succeeding  days;  it  lost  heavily  at  the  battle  of  Laurel  Hill  May  12,  and 
was  active  during  the  movements  about  Spotsylvania,  North  Anna  and  Totopotomoy,  engaging,  June  3,  at  Bethesda 
Church.  Crossing  the  James  River  June  16,  it  took  part  in  the  assault  at  Petersburg,  June  18-22,  where  Col.  George 
L.  Prescott  was  mortally  wounded.  Engaging  afterward  in  the  siege,  it  took  part  at  the  Weldon  Railroad  August 
18-21  and  at  Poplar  Spring  Church  September  30.  It  was  active  in  the  final  operations  about  Petersburg,  took  part  in 
the  pursuit  of  Lee's  Army  to  Appomattox,  and  as  part  of  the  3d  Brigade,  1st  Division,  5th  Corps,  received  the  arms  of 
General  Lee's  forces  at  the  formal  surrender,  April  11, 1865.  Encamping  near  Appomattox  until  May  1,  it  reached 
Washington  May  12  and  remained  until  the  termination  of  its  service.  Before  its  muster  out,  June  28,  1865,  the  re- 
enlisted  men  and  recruits  of  the  9th,  12th,  13th,  18th,  22d  and  39th  Mass.  Infantries  had  been  added  to  its  numbers. 
Reaching  Boston  July  1,  it  received  its  final  discharge  and  payment  at  Gallop's  Island  July  11,  1865.

The  33d  Regiment  Mass.  Infantry,  composed  mainly  of  men  from  Middlesex  and  Bristol  counties,  was  organized 
at  Camp  Edwin  M.  Stanton,  Lynnfield,  Mass.,  in  June  and  July,  1862 ;  and  twelve  companies  instead  of  the  usual  ten 
were  mustered  into  service  early  in  August,  under  command  of  Col.  Albert  C.  Maggi,  late  lieutenant-colonel  of  the 
21st  Mass.  Infantry.  It  left  the  State  for  Washington  August  14,  and  was  located  for  a  time  at  Alexandria.  It 
moved  October  10  to  Fairfax  Station,  becoming  part  of  the  2d  Brigade,  2d  Division,  llth  Corps,  advanced  to 
Thoroughfare  Gap  in  November,  and  took  part  in  a  reconnoissance  to  White  Plains.  Its  two  extra  companies  were 
transferred  to  the  41st  Mass.  Infantry  in  this  month.  It  moved  in  December  to  Falmouth,  and  took  up  winter 
quarters,  engaging  in  the  mud  march  of  January,  1863.  As  part  of  General  Barlow's  Brigade  at  Chaucellorsville, 
the  regiment,  with  the  exception  of  two  companies  left  on  picket  with  the  llth  Corps,  was  sent  in  support  of  General 
Sickles  in  his  movement  on  the  afternoon  of  May  2.  It  acted  in  support  of  General  Pleasanton  in  the  battle  of 
Beverly  Ford  June  9.  At  Gettysburg,  as  part  of  Steinvvehr's  Division,  it  held  Cemetery  Ridge  during  the  three 
days  of  the  battle.  Returning  to  Virginia  and  posted  for  a  time  at  Catlett's  and  Bristoe's  stations,  it  was  ordered 
in  September  with  the  llth  Corps  under  Hooker  to  join  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland  in  Tennessee,  and  arrived  at 
Bridgeport,  Tenn.,  October  1.  It  took  part  at  the  battle  of  Wauhatchie  or  Lookout  Valley,  forming  with  the  73d 
Ohio  the  force  to  assault  the  heights,  meeting  most  severe  loss,  though  finally  successful.  Colonel  Underwood  being 
severely  wounded,  the  command  of  the  regiment  was  taken  by  Lieutenant-Colonel  Ryder.  It  engaged  at  Chat 
tanooga,  and  marching  to  the  relief  of  Knoxville,  received  at  Louisville,  Tenn.,  the  news  of  the  raising  of  the  siege, 
and  returning,  made  winter  quarters  at  Lookout  Valley.  In  the  spring  of  1864,  forming  part  of  the  20th  Corps, 
Army  of  the  Cumberland,  the  regiment  was  engaged  at  Resaca,  Ga.,  making  a  series  of  charges,  and  was  detailed  as 
division  train  guard  during  the  siege  of  Atlanta,  and  afterwards  served  as  provost  guard  in  the  city  under  Maj. 
ElishaDoane.  It  shared  in  Sherman's  march  to  the  sea,  and  entered  Savannah  December  21,  where  it  remained 
until  the  close  of  the  year.  Encamping  in  South  Carolina  in  January,  1865,  it  began  the  march  northward  January 
29,  and  took  part  at  Averysboro',  N.  C.,  March  16,  and  at  Bentonville  on  the  19th.  It  went  into  camp  near  Golds- 
boro',  N.  C.,  March  24,  and  moved  on  April  10  toward  Raleigh,  receiving  at  Smithville  the  news  of  Lee's  surrender.

The  34th  Mass.  Infantry  was  recruited  in  camp  at  Worcester,  Mass.,  from  June  to  August,  1862,  and  left  the  State 
for  Washington  August  15  under  command  of  Col.  George  D.  Wells,  promoted  from  lieutenant-colonel  1st  Mass. 
Infantry.  It  moved  August  22  to  Alexandria,  and  remained  stationed  in  the  vicinity,  on  picket  and  outpost  duty  in 
the  defences  of  Washington,  until  July,  1863.  It  left  Washington  for  Harper's  Ferry  July  9,  and  occupied  Maryland 
Heights,  becoming  part  of  the  1st  Brigade,  under  Colonel  Wells,  1st  Division  Department  of  Western  Virginia.  It 
met  the  enemy  at  Berryville  October  18,  and  took  part  in  December  in  an  expedition  up  the  Shenaridoah  valley, 
marching  as  far  as  Ilarrisonburg.  The  regiment  remained  on  provost  and  outpost  duty  at  Harper's  Ferry  and 
Martinsburg  until  May  2,  1864,  when,  as  part  of  General  Sigel'a  force,  it  went  to  Winchester  and  took  part  in  the 
movements  in  the  Shenaudoah,  engaging  with  loss  at  the  battle  of  New  Market  May  15,  at  Piedmont  June  5,  and  at 
Lyuchburg  June  18,  General  Hunter  having  succeeded  General  Sigel  in  command  of  the  department.  Returning 
from  the  campaign  to  Lynchburg,  the  regiment  reached  Martinsburg  July  11,  1864,  met  the  enemy  at  Snicker's 
Gap  July  18  and  at  Winchester  on  the  24th.  In  August  it  moved  into  Maryland,  and,  the  department  being  re- 
enforced  by  the  6th  and  19th  Army  Corps,  the  regiment,  in  command  of  Major  Pratt,  shared  in  General  Sheridan's 
campaign  and  took  part  in  the  battles  of  Opcquon  and  Fisher's  Hill,  engaging  also  at  Tom's  Brook  near  Strasburg 
October  13,  where  Colonel  Wells  was  mortally  wounded,  and  at  Cedar  Creek  October  19,  engaging  afterward  in 
provost  duty  at  Newlown,and  moving  in  November  to  Opequon  Crossing  for  outpost  duty.  After  Colonel  Wells' 
death  Col.  W.  S.  Lincoln  was  promoted  to  fill  his  place. 

As  part  of  the  1st  Division,  Army  of  West  Virginia,  the  regiment  was  ordered,  December  17,  to  join  the  Army  of 
the  James  before  Petersburg,  and,  passing  through  Washington  December  20,  spent  the  autumn  and  winter  of 
1864-65  engaged  in  the  siege  as  part  of  the  Independent  Division,  24th  Army  Corps,  Army  of  the  James.  In  January 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Potter  took  command  of  the  brigade,  of  which  the  regiment  serving  under  Captain  Leach  formed 
a  part.  It  shared  in  the  final  operations  about  Petersburg,  engaging  at  Hatcher's  Run  March  31,  and  at  the  final 
assault  on  the  works.  It  followed  General  Lee  to  Appornattox,  encamping  after  the  surrender  at  Lynchburg;  and, 
entering  Richmond  April  25,  it  remained  in  camp  there  until  the  expiration  of  its  service.  It  was  mustered  out  June 
15, 1865,  and  was  finally  paid  off  and  discharged  at  Readville,  Mass.,  on  July  6.  Those  who  had  more  time  to  serve 
were  transferred  to  the  24th  Mass.  Infantry.

The  35th  Mass.  Infantry  was  organized  at  Lynnfield,  Mass.,  under  the  call  for  three  years'  regiments,  in  July, 

1862,  and  mustered  into  service  on  varying  dates  from  August  9  to  19,  left  the  State  for  Washington  on  the  22d, 
under  Col.  Edward  A.  Wild.    Encamping  for  a  few  days  near  the  capital,  it  was  assigned  to  the  9th  Corps,  and  on 
September  8  joined  the  2d  Brigade,  2d  Division,  in  Maryland.    It  took  part  at  the  battle  of  South  Mountain,  where 
Colonel  Wild  was  severely  wounded;  was  closely  engaged  with  great  loss,  under  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Carruth,  at  Burnside's  Bridge  during  the  battle  of  Antietam,  and  was  active  at  Fredericksburg  under  Major  Willard, 
who  was  mortally  wounded  in  the  charge  on  Marye's  Heights.     Leaving  the  winter  camp  for  Newport  News  Feb.  9, 

1863,  the  regiment  formed  in  March  part  of  the  force  sent  to  join  General  Burnside  in  the  department  of  the  Ohio, 
and,  reaching  Covington,  Ky.,  March  30,  was  stationed  successively  at  Mount  Sterling,  Lancaster  and  Stanford.    In 
June  it  was  sent  to  reinforce  General  Grant  at  Vicksburg,  served  during  the  siege  and  followed  General  Johnston's 
forces  to  Jackson,  Miss.     Returning  to  Covington  August  14,  it  moved  in  October  to  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  took  part  in 
the  operations  in  the  vicinity  in  November  and  was  on  duty  in  the  city  during  the  siege.    The  regiment  returned  to 
Annapolis,  Md.,  in  April,  1864,  and  became,  under  Colonel  Carruth,  part  of  the  1st  Brigade,  General  Stevenson's 
Division.    It  was  detailed  to  guard  the  supply  train  of  the  division  at  the  Wilderness.    Rejoining  its  brigade  May  17 
before  Spotsylvania,  it  took  part  in  the  assault  on  the  next  day  and  was  actively  engaged  at  North  Anna  May  25. 
Serving  under  Captain  Park  as  engineer  corps  for  the  division,  the  regiment  was  active  during  the  operations  about 
Cold  Harbor  and  at  the  siege  of  Petersburg,  taking  active  part  at  the  Crater  July  30,  and  at  the  battle  of  Weldon 
Railroad  August  19.    Relieved  from  engineer  duty  in  September,  it  continued  its  service  in  the  siege  with  the  1st 
Brigade  during  the  autumn  and  winter,  joining  in  the  pursuit  of  Lee's  army  after  the  fall  of  Petersburg  in  April, 
1865.    Receiving  the  news  of  Lee's  surrender  at  Farmville,  it  reached  Alexandria  April  28,  where  it  spent  its  remain 
ing  days  of  service,  taking  part  in  the  grand  review  at  Washington  May  23.    On  June  9,  1865,  the  regiment  was 
mustered  out,  those  whose  term  of  service  had  not  yet  expired  being  transferred  to  the  29th  Mass.  Infantry,  and  was 
paid  off  and  discharged  at  Readville,  Mass.,  June  27,  1865.

The  36th  Mass.  Infantry  was  organized  in  the  summer  of  1862  at  Camp  John  E.  Wool,  "Worcester,  in  response  to 
the  President's  call  for  three  years'  troops  in  July.  The  regiment  represented  in  its  members  the  towns  of  Charles- 
town,  Winchendon  and  vicinity,  and  the  eastern  and  western  towns  of  Worcester  County.  On  September  2  it  left 
camp  for  Washington,  under  command  of  Col.  Henry  Bowman,  who  had  been  made  prisoner  at  Ball's  Bluff  while 
captain  of  the  15th  Infantry,  and  after  his  release  commissioned  major  of  the  34th  Mass.  Infantry.  It  was  assigned 
to  General  Burnside's  command  and  joined  the  9th  Corps  near  Sharpsburg,  Md.,  September  21,  forming  part  of  the 
3d  Brigade,  1st  Division.  It  was  present  at  the  battle  of  Fredericksburg,  and  moving  in  February,  1863,  to  Newport 
News,  it  left  there  March  23  to  join  General  Burnside  in  the  department  of  the  Ohio  and  was  posted  at  Lexington, 
Ky.,  moving  afterward  to  Nicholasville  and  Middleburg.  It  formed  part  of  the  forces  sent  to  Vicksburg  in  June, 
where  it  took  part  in  the  siege  and  in  the  movement  to  Jackson,  Miss.  Returning  to  Kentucky,  it  movod  to  Knox- 
ville,  Tenn.,  in  September,  was  active  at  Blue  Springs  October  10,  was  closely  engaged  at  Campbell's  Station 
November  16,  and  was  on  duty  during  the  siege.  It  returned  to  Annapolis,  Md.,  in  April,  1864,  where  by  the  reor 
ganization  of  the  9th  Corps  it  became,  under  Major  Draper,  part  of  the  1st  Brigade,  2d  Division ;  was  engaged  with 
loss  at  the  Wilderness  on  May  6  and  suffered  greatly  in  the  charge  at  Spotsylvania  Court  House  May  12.  On  the 
14th  and  loth  of  May  a  detachment  from  the  29th  Mass.  Infantry,  which  had  joined  the  regiment  Jan.  30,  1864,  and 
whose  term  of  service  had  expired,  left  for  Massachusetts  for  muster  out.  Under  command  of  Captain  Barker  the 
regiment  took  active  part  at  Cold  Harbor  June  2,  and  shared  with  its  division  in  the  assault  of  Petersburg  June  17. 
It  was  active  afterward  in  the  siege,  engaging  in  the  operations  on  the  Weldon  Railroad  in  August,  at  Pegram  Farm 
or  Poplar  Spring  Church  Sept.  30,  and  at  Hatcher's  Run  in  October.  In  the  latter  part  of  October  the  21st  Battalion 
Mass.  Volunteers  was  transferred  to  the  36th  Infantry,  which  was  consolidated  into  companies  A  to  G,  the  21st 
Battalion  becoming  companies  II,  I  and  K.  After  the  fall  of  Petersburg  the  regiment  moved  to  Farmville  and  served 
on  provost  duty;  returning,  it  reached  Alexandria  April  28  and  encamped  at  Fort  Lyon  until  its  muster  out  of 
service  June  8,  1865.  Reaching  Massachusetts  on  the  10th,  it  was  paid  off  and  discharged  at  Readville  June  19,  1865. 
The  recruits  and  men  from  the  21st  regiment  were  transferred  to  the  56th  Mass.  Infantry.

The  37th  Mass.  Infantry,  composed  mainly  of  men  from  the  four  western  counties  of  the  State,  was  organized  in 
camp  at  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  in  August,  1862.  Six  companies  were  mustered  August  30,  three  on  September  2,  and 
Company  K  completed  its  organization  on  the  4th.  The  regiment  left  the  State  September  7,  and  serving  in  the 
defences  of  Washington  until  ordered  to  reinforce  the  army  in  Maryland,  joined  the  army  of  the  Potomac  at  Downs- 
ville  October  5,  and  became  part  of  General  Devens'  Brigade.  It  was  present  at  Fredericksburg,  and  encamped  for 
the  winter  near  White  Oak  Church,  taking  part  in  the  "  mud  march  "  of  January,  1863.  At  Chancellorsville,  as  part 
of  the  6th  Corps  under  Sedgwick,  it  was  in  support  at  Marye's  Heights  and  active  at  Salem  Church,  meeting  with  loss 
at  Gettysburg  July  3.  On  July  31  the  regiment  was  detached  and  ordered  to  New  York  for  duty  during  the  draft 
riots,  rejoining  its  brigade  at  Chantilly  October  17.  It  was  present  at  the  battle  of  Rappahannock  Station  and  took 
part  in  the  Mine  Run  Campaign.  As  part  of  Eustis'  Brigade,  Getty's  Division,  it  was  active  at  the  Wilderness, 
losing  heavily  on  May  6,  1864;  was  closely  engaged  at  the  "  Angle"  at  Spotsylvania  Court  House  May  12;  shared  in 
the  movements  to  North  Anna  and  Cold  Harbor,  and  reached  Petersburg  June  17,  taking  part  in  the  charge  of  the 
next  day.  In  June  the  re-enlisted  men  of  the  7th  and  10th  Mass.  Infantries  were  attached  to  the  regiment,  and  July 
6,  by  the  reorganization  of  the  division,  it  became  under  Lieutenant-Colonel  Montague  part  of  the  3d  Brigade,  with 
Colonel  Edwards  as  brigade  commander.  Forming  part  of  the  forces  sent  to  protect  Washington  against  the  advance 
of  General  Early,  it  reached  the  city  July  12,  and  went  into  action  immediately  at  Fort  Stevens.  It  took  part  in  the 
operations  against  Early  in  the  Shenandoah  Valley,  suffering  loss  at  Charlestown  August  21,  and  losing  more  heavily 
at  the  Opequon  September  19,  after  which  it  was  stationed  as  provost  guard  at  Winchester.  The  regiment  rejoined 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac  before  Petersburg  December  16;  engaged  at  Hatcher's  Run  in  February,  1865;  took  part 
under  Major  Tyler  in  the  action  of  March  25,  and  served  under  Captain  Hopkins  in  the  final  assault  of  April  2.  It 
was  actively  engaged  with  loss  at  Sailor's  Creek,  and,  following  Lee's  army  to  Appomattox,  it  was  placed  after  the 
surrender  in  guard  of  the  South  Side  railroad.  Returning  to  the  vicinity  of  Washington  June  2,  it  remained  en- 
camped  at  Bailey's  Cross  Roads  until  June  21,  when  it  was  mustered  out  of  service,  the  re-enlisted  men  being  trans 
ferred  to  the  20th  Mass.  Infantry.  Returning  to  Massachusetts,  it  was  paid  off  and  discharged  at  Readville  July  2, 
1865.

The  38th  Mass.  Infantry  was  organized  in  the  summer  of  1862,  in  response  to  the  President's  call  for  troops  in 
July.  Seven  companies  recruited  at  Lynnfield,  and  composed  largely  of  men  from  Plymouth  County,  were  mustered 
into  service  August  21 ;  and  the  remaining  three,  recruited  from  Cambridge,  were  mustered  in  on  the  22d  at  Camp 
Day,  North  Cambridge.  The  command  left  Boston  August  26,  under  Lieutenant-Colonel  Wardwell,  and  was 
stationed  for  a  lime  in  camp  near  Baltimore.  Col.  Timothy  Ingraham,  at  the  time  of  his  appointment  in  the  38th 
holding  a  commission  as  lieutenant-colonel  of  the  18th  Mass.  Infantry,  took  command  of  the  regiment  September  3. 
It  moved  in  November  to  Hampton  Roads,  and  having  remained  on  transport  for  a  month,  sailed  for  Mississippi 
and  reached  Carrollton  Jan.  1,  1863,  becoming  part  of  the  3d  Brigade,  3d  Division,  19th  Army  Corps.  Moving  to 
Baton  Rouge  in  March,  it  took  part  in  the  advance  to  Port  Hudson  on  the  14th,  and  engaged  in  the  Teche  expedition, 
meeting  with  loss  at  Fort  Bisland  April  13.  Its  commander,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Rodman,  was  among  the  killed  at 
the  assault  of  Port  Hudson  May  27,  and  the  regiment  met  with  loss  also  at  the  assault  on  June  14.  After  sharing  in 
the  movement  to  Donaldsonville  in  July,  it  occupied  camp  near  Baton  Rouge  until  the  spring  of  1864.  As  part  of 
the  3d  Brigade,  2d  Division,  it  shared  in  the  Red  River  expedition,  remaining  with  the  brigade  as  garrison  at  Alex 
andria  until  April  12;  when  detached  it  moved  to  Grand  Ecore,  and  served  with  the  2d  Brigade  in  the  return  to 
Alexandria,  engaging  at  Cane  River  April  23.  At  the  battle  of  Mansura  the  regiment  served  under  Captain  Wyman, 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Richardson  being  in  command  of  the  brigade.  It  formed  part  of  the  forces  sent  to  the  defence 
of  "Washington  in  July,  1864,  and  served  during  the  summer  and  autumn  under  General  Sheridan  in  the  Shenancloah 
Valley.  At  the  battle  of  the  Opequon,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Richardson  was  wounded  and  the  command  was  taken  by 
Major  Allen.  The  regiment  took  part  at  Fisher's  Hill  and  met  with  loss  at  Cedar  Creek.  With  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Richardson  in  command  of  the  brigade,  the  regiment  under  Major  Allen  left  Winchester  Jan.  6, 1865,  for  Baltimore, 
and  was  sent  a  week  later  to  Savannah,  Ga.,  and  served  there  until  spring.  Moving  in  March  to  More-head  City,  it 
served  at  Goldsboro'  during  April,  and  returning  to  Savannah  in  May,  remained  until  its  termination  of  service. 
The  recruits  being  transferred  to  the  26th  Mass.  Infantry,  the  regiment  returned  to  Massashusetts,  and  reaching 
Boston  July  6,  was  mustered  out  at  Gallop's  Island  July  13,  1865.

The  40th  Mass.  Infantry  was  organized  at  Camp  Stanton,  Lynnfield,  Mass.,  in  the  summer  of  1862;  four  companies 
were  mustered  into  service  in  August  and  the  remainder  in  the  early  part  of  September;  Company  G,  the  last  to  be 
filled,  being  mustered  September  5.  It  left  the  State  September  8,  under  command  of  Lieut. -Col.  Joseph  A.  Daltou, 
Col.  Burr  Porter,  appointed  September  7,  taking  command  at  Washington  on  the  14th.  The  regiment  remained 
on  picket  and  guard  duty  in  the  vicinity  of  Washington  during  the  autumn  and  winter  of  1862-63;  it  moved  to 
Suffolk  April  15,  1863,  and  occupied  the  city  during  the  siege,  making  a  reconnoissance  on  April  24  and  another  on 
May  3.  It  took  part  in  the  operations  in  the  vicinity  after  the  raising  of  the  siege,  meeting  the  enemy  at  Baltimore 
Cross  Roads  July  2.  The  command  returned  to  Washington  July  11,  and  moving  to  Frederick,  Md.,  joined  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  in  the  pursuit  of  Lee's  Army  into  Virginia.  It  was  ordered,  August  6,  to  Folly  Island,  8.  C., 
and  served  in  the  trenches  at  Fort  Wagner  until  the  evacuation  by  the  Confederates.  In  November,  Colonel  Porter 
having  resigned,  Capt.  Guy  V.  Ilenry,  a  graduate  of  West  Point,  was  appointed  colonel,  and  took  command  of  the  regi 
ment  November  10.  Equipped  as  mounted  infantry  at  Hilton  Head  in  January,  1864,  it  moved,  February  4,  to 
Jacksonville,  Fla. ;  engaged  at  Barber's  Ford  February  10,  and  at  Olustee  on  the  20th.  A  detachment  of  the  regiment 
under  Captain  Marshall  met  with  loss  also  at  Gainesville  February  15.  Unmounted,  the  regiment  joined  General 
Butler's  forces  March  28,  at  Gloucester  Point,  Va.,  and  shared  in  the  engagements  at  Arrowfield  Church  and  Drewry's 
Bluff.  Becoming  part  of  the  18th  Corps,  it  joined  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  at  Cold  Harbor  June  1,  and  went  at  once 
into  action,  suffering  loss,  engaging  again  actively  on  the  3d.  It  reached  Petersburg  June  15,  took  part  in  the  assault 
on  that  day  and  shared  afterward  in  the  siege.  Relieved  from  duty  in  the  trenches  August  27,  the  regiment  served 
for  a  month  on  provost  duty  at  Bermuda  Landing,  taking  part  afterward  in  the  operations  about  Bermuda  Hundred. 
On  March  4,  1865,  it  left  its  winter  camp  at  Chapin's  Farm  for  Fortress  Monroe,  and  shared  with  its  brigade  in  the 
expeditions  to  Fredericksburg  and  to  White  House  Landing.  It  reached  Richmond  April  3,  encamping  near  the 
city,  and  on  the  25th  moved  to  Manchester,  Va.,  where  it  was  located  until  mustered  out  of  service,  June  17, 1865. 
It  reached  Massachusetts  on  the  21st,  and  was  paid  off  and  discharged  at  Readville  June  30,  1865.

Including  non-commissioned  staff. 


The  2d  Regiment  of  militia,  which  volunteered  under  the  call  for  nine  months'  troops  in  the  autumn  of  1862, 
formed  the  nucleus  of  the  42d  Infantry,  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  completing  its  organization  under  that  name  in 
November.  The  regiment  was  ordered  to  join  the  Department  of  the  Gulf,  and  left  the  State  November  21  for  the 
rendezvous  at  Long  Island,  N.  Y.  It  left  for  Mississippi  in  four  detachments  early  in  December.  Companies  D, 
G  and  I  under  Colonel  Burrell,  reaching  Carrolllon  on  the  17th,  were  ordered  to  Galveston,  Tex.,  and,  co-operating 
with  the  naval  forces,  established  a  post  on  the  island.  On  Jan.  1,  1863,  the  three  companies  after  repulsing  an 
assault  were  taken  prisoners.  Most  of  the  men  were  paroled  February  18  with  Chaplain  Geo.  J.  Sanger,  uncon 
ditionally  released,  and  a  parole  camp  was  established  at  Bayou  Gentilly,  which  they  occupied  until  the  termination 
of  their  service.  Colonel  Burrell,  Surgeon  A.  J.  Cummings,  the  officers  of  companies  D,  G  and  I,  with  Lieutenant 
Stowell  of  Company  E,  were  held  in  prison,  where  Surgeon  Cummiugs  and  Lieutenant  Bartlett  died  during  the 
summer.  The  remaining  officers  were  exchanged  July  22, 1864.  The  other  three  detachments,  having  been  delayed, 
reached  New  Orleans  on  December  29,  January  1  and  14,  and  were  reunited  and  assigned  to  the  2d  Brigade,  2d

The  46th  Infantry,  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  was  recruited  in  camp  at  Springfield,  Mass.,  during  September 
and  October,  1862,  largely  through  the  efforts  of  Rev.  Geo.  Bowler,  who  became  colonel  of  the  regiment,  although 
early  in  the  service  (Jan.  23,  1863),  obliged  to  resign  on  account  of  ill  health.  It  was  mustered  in  from  Sept. 
24  to  Oct.  30,  1862,  and  was  ordered  to  New  Berne,  N.  C.  Arriving  November  15,  it  became  part  of  Colonel 
Lee's  brigade  and  encamped  near  the  town;  two  companies  under  Captain  Spooner  were  detached  for  duty  at  New 
port  barracks.  The  regiment,  under  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Shurtleff,  took  part  in  the  Goldsboro'  expe 
dition  and  remained  in  camp  near  the  Trent  River  during  the  winter.  It  shared  in  the  reconnoissance  on  the  Trent 
road  March  13,  formed  part  of  the  garrison  at  Plymouth,  N.  C.,  in  April,  and  shared  in  the  movement  to  Gum 
Swamp  May  21-22.  Two  companies  left  behind  in  the  defences  of  New  Berne  were  engaged  May  23  at  Batchelder's

The  47th  Mass.  Infantry,  aleo  known  as  the  Merchants'  Guard  Regiment,  was  recruited  in  the  autumn  of  1864  at 
Camp  Stanton,  Boxford,  Mass.,  through  the  efforts  of  Lucius  B.  Marsh  of  Boston,  who  became  colonel  of  the  regi 
ment.  The  companies  being  mustered  in  on  varying  dates  from  September  19  to  October  31,  and  the  field  and  staff 
on  November  7,  the  regiment  moved  to  Readville  November  11,  and  on  the  29th  was  ordered  to  New  York;  and 
leaving  to  join  the  forces  in  the  Department  of  the  Gulf,  reached  New  Orleans  December  31.  The  command  was 
sent  for  a  few  days  to  Carrollton,  and  returning  to  New  Orleans  served  until  March  at  United  States  Barracks  and 
Louisiana  Lower  Cotton  Press,  Company  E  being  detached  for  provost  duty  at  Thibodeaux.  On  March  12  the  regi 
ment,  reunited  (with  the  exception  of  Company  B,  which  remained  throughout  its  service  as  guard  for  commissary 
and  ordnance  stores  at  New  Orleans),  was  ordered  to  the  Metaire  Race-course,  moving  in  May  to  Camp  Parapet, 
where  it  spent  the  remainder  of  its  service.  The  2d  Louisiana  Engineer  Regiment,  recruited  at  this  time,  drew 
its  officers  largely  from  the  ranks  of  the  47th.  The  regiment  left  Carrollton  August  5,  its  term  of  service  having 
expired,  reached  Boston  August  18  and  was  mustered  out  at  Headville  Sept.  1, 1863.

Eight  companies  of  infantry  were  recruited  at  Camp  Lander,  Wenham,  Mass.,  to  form,  as  an  Essex  County 
organization,  the  48th  Infantry,  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  under  Col.  Eben  F.  Stone  of  Newburyport,  but  on  account 
of  the  immediate  demand  for  troops  for  the  Banks  expedition,  four  companies  of  men  recruiting  at  Lakeville  to  form 
an  Irish  regiment  were  consolidated  with  six  of  these  companies  and  formed  in  that  manner  the  48th  Infantry; 
the  remaining  two  original  Essex  County  companies  were  detached  to  fill  the  ranks  of  the  4th  Infantry,  Mass. 
Volunteer  Militia,  then  being  organized  at  Lakeville  for  its  nine  months'  term  of  service.  The  48th  left  the  State 
for  New  York  Dec.  27,  1862,  sailed  Jan.  4,  1863,  for  Fortress  Monroe  and  reached  New  Orleans  February  1.  It  was 
sent,  two  days  later,  to  Baton  Rouge,  and  became  part  of  the  1st  Brigade,  1st  Division,  19th  Army  Corps.  It  took 
part  in  a  reconnoissance  toward  Port  Hudson  March  13  and  joined  the  next  day  in  the  general  advance  of  the  forces 
to  that  place.  It  was  engaged  at  Plains  Store,  and  was  most  actively  engaged  at  the  assault  on  Port. Hudson  May 
27,  providing  ninety-three  volunteers  from  its  ranks  for  the  storming  party,  among  them  Lieutenant-Colonel  O'Brien, 
who  was  killed  in  the  action.  It  suffered  loss  again  on  June  14,  forming  temporarily  part  of  the  3d  Division.  In 
the  movement  to  Donaldsonville,  the  regiment  met  with  loss  at  Bayou  La  Fourche  July  13.  It  was  stationed  in  camp 
near  Donaldsonville  until  August  1,  when  it  returned  to  Baton  Rouge  and  on  the  9th  left  for  Massachusetts,  its  term 
of  service  having  expired.  It  arrived  at  Boston  August  23  and  was  mustered  out  at  Camp  Lander  Sept.  3,  1863.

by  way  of  the  Mississippi  River,  and,  reaching  Greenfield  August  3,  was  mustered  out  of  service  Aug.  14,  1863.

The  53d  Infantry,  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  was  composed  of  men  from  the  towns  of  northern  Worcester  and 
Middlesex  counties.  Organized  at  Camp  Stevens,  Groton  Junction,  and  mustered  during  the  latter  part  of  October 
and  November,  1862,  it  left  the  State  November  29,  under  Lieutenant-Colonel  Barrett,  to  join  the  Banks  expedition. 
John  W.  Kimball,  lieutenant-colonel  of  the  15th  Mass.  Infantry,  was  appointed  colonel,  and  assumed  command 
November  29,  rejoining  the  regiment  at  New  York  on  December  9.  Sailing  for  Louisiana  Jan.  18, 1863,  the  regiment 
reached  Carrollton  the  31st,  and  was  assigned  to  Colonel  Oooding's  Brigade,  General  Emory's  Division,  19th  Corps. 
It  moved  to  Baton  Rouge  in  March,  took  part  in  a  reconnoissance  up  the  Bayou  Sara  road  March  12,  and  joined  in 
the  movement  to  Port  Hudson  on  the  14th.  It  engaged  in  the  Teche  expedition,  and  was  active  at  Fort  Bisland 
April  13,  where,  holding  the  most  advanced  position,  it  was  first  to  enter  the  fort  on  the  morning  of  the  14th. 
Remaining  behind  at  Simmsport  for  a  day  on  guard  duty  on  the  return  from  Alexandria,  the  regiment  rejoined  its 
brigade  before  Port  Hudson  May  23.  Soon  after  its  arrival  it  was  detailed  as  guard  to  the  engineer  corps.  It  took

The  54th  Mass.  Infantry  was  the  first  regiment  of  colored  men  raised  in  the  Northern  States  east  of  the  Mississippi 
River.'  Authority  for  recruiting  such  a  regiment  was  given  Governor  Andrew  by  the  Secretary  of  War  in  an  order 
dated  Jan.  26, 1863.  Capt.  Robert  G.  Shaw  of  the  2d  Mass.  Infantry  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  regiment  during 
its  formation,  and  was  commissioned  colonel  April  17.  All  the  commissioned  officers  except  the  chaplain  were 
white  until  the  muster  of  Lieut.  S.  A.  Swails,  May  14,  1864.  Recruiting  began  in  Boston  on  February  9;  men  were 
also  sent  from  Philadelphia,  but  the  larger  part  of  the  members  were  obtained  through  the  efforts  of  a  recruiting 
committee  appointed  by  Governor  Andrew,  which  drew  its  recruits  from  stations  established  from  Boston  to  St. 
Louis,  largely  under  the  direction  of  Maj.  G.L.  Stearns.  Four  companies  having  been  mustered  into  service  at 
Readville,  March  30,  three  on  April  23  and  the  remaining  three  May  13,  the  regiment  left  the  State  May  28,  1863,  to 
join  General  Hunter's  forces  in  the  Department  of  the  South.  Reaching  Hilton  Head,  S.  C.,  June  3,  it  was  ordered 
to  Beaufort  and  afterward  to  St.  Simon's  Island,  Ga.,  forming  part  of  a  brigade  under  Colonel  Montgomery  of  the 
2d  S.  C.  Regiment.  Returning  to  Hilton  Head  June  25,  it  was  ordered  to  James  Island  in  July,  and  took  part  in  the 
action  at  Secessionville  July  16.  Reaching  Morris  Island  at  6  o'clock  on  the  evening  of  the  18th,  it  led  that  night 
the  assault  on  Fort  Wagner,  planting  its  colors  on  the  parapet,  where  Colonel  Shaw  fell  at  the  head  of  the  storming 
column,  and  the  remnant  of  the  regiment,  under  Captain  Emilio  (all  of  the  field  and  many  of  the  line  officers  being 
killed  or  wounded),  were  repulsed,  but  remained  in  an  advanced  position  after  the  charge  until  relieved  on  the 
morning  of  the  19th.  It  served  in  the  trenches  during  the  siege  and  in  strengthening  the  works  after  the  surrender 
until  January,  1864,  when  it  formed  part  of  the  expedition  to  Florida  under  General  Seymour,  and  took  part  with 
loss  in  the  battle  of  Olustee,  February  20.  Returning  to  Morris  Island  April  18,  it  remained  there  during  the 
summer  and  autumn.  Eight  companies,  under  Lieutenant-Colonel  Hooper,  forming  part  of  the  Coast  Division, 
moved  to  Hilton  Head  in  November,  and  engaged  at  Honey  Hill  and  were  in  reserve  at  Deveaux  Neck.  It  moved  to 
Graham's  Neck  December  19  and  to  Pocotaligo  in  January,  and,  entering  Charleston  February  27,  met  there  its  two 
companies  left  behind  at  Morris  Island.  The  regiment  took  part  in  an  expedition  into  central  South  Carolina 
in  April,  1865,  meeting  the  enemy  at  Boykin's  Mills  on  the  18th.  Returning  to  Charleston  in  the  early  part  of  May, 
it  served  by  detachments  on  guard  and  garrison  duty  in  various  parts  of  the  State.  It  was  mustered  out  of  service 
August  20,  at  Mount  Pleasant,  and,  reaching  Boston  by  detachments  on  the  26th  and  28th,  was  discharged  at  Gallop's 
Island  Sept.  1,  and  disbanded  on  Boston  Common  Sept.  2,  1865.

The  55th  Mass.  Infantry,  composed,  like  the  54th,  of  colored  enlisted  men  with  white  officers,  was  organized  at 
Readville  in  the  spring  of  1863;  the  recruiting  committee  which  supplied  most  of  the  men  of  the  54th  filling  the 
ranks  of  this  regiment  also.  The  first  recruits  arrived  at  camp  May  12  and  the  first  five  companies  were  mustered 
into  service  May  31,  two  more  on  June  15  and  the  remaining  three  on  the  22d.  Under  command  of  Col.  Norwood  P. 
Ilalloweir,  the  regiment  left  the  camp  July  21  and  embarked  for  New  Berne,  arriving  on  the  25th.  It  was  ordered 
to  Charleston  harbor  on  the  29th,  became  part  of  General  Wild's  Brigade,  10th  Army  Corps,  and  served  in  the 
operations  against  Charleston  for  the  remainder  of  the  year.  In  February,  1864,  the  regiment,  under  Col.  A.  S. 
Hartwell  (Colonel  Hallowell  having  resigned  in  November  from  the  effect  of  injuries  received  at  Antietam),  was 
sent  to  join  the  forces  at  Jacksonville,  Fla.,  and  served  by  detachments  at  Yellow  Bluff,  at  the  forts  near  Jacksonville 
and  at  Palatka.  Returning  to  Charleston  harbor  April  18-20,  it  took  part  in  the  movement  against  Charleston  July 
2,  capturing  two  of  the  enemy's  guns  and  losing  nine  men  killed  and  mortally  wounded.  Eight  companies  were  sent 
to  Hilton  Head,  S  C.,  in  November,  forming  part  of  a  brigade  under  Colonel  Hartwell,  Coast  Division.  It  lost 
heavily  at  the  battle  of  Honey  Hill,  where,  Colonel  Hartwell  being  wounded,  the  command  of  the  regiment  was 
taken  by  Lieutenant-Colonel  Fox.  It  occupied  a  position  at  Boyd's  Neck  until  ordered  to  Savannah,  Ga.,  in 
January,  1865.  Returning  to  Hilton  Head  February  1,  it  entered  Charleston  February  20,  and  shared  in  an  expedi

The  56th  Mass.  Infantry  was  the  first  of  the  four  veteran  regiments  which  were  organized  at  Readville,  Mass.,  in 
the  autumn  and  winter  of  1863-64,  and  was  composed  of  men  who  had  already  served  in  some  other  organization 
for  at  least  nine  months.  The  regiment  under  Col.  Charles  E.  Griswold  left  camp  for  Annapolis,  Md.,  March  20, 
1864,  and  became  part  of  Colonel  Carruth's  Brigade,  General  Stevenson's  Division,  9th  Army  Corps.  It  left  the 
camp  at  Annapolis  April  23  to  take  part  in  the  spring  campaign,  and  was  closely  engaged  at  the  Wilderness  near  the 
junction  of  Brock  and  Plank  roads  on  the  morning  of  May  6,  Colonel  Griswold  being  killed  in  the  action.  Taking 
part  in  the  movements  of  the  campaign,  the  regiment  shared  with  the  9th  Corps  in  support  of  General  Hancock's 
attack  at  Spotsylvania  Court  House  May  12,  taking  part  also  in  the  assault  on  the  18th;  and,  crossing  North  Anna 
River  May  24,  as  part  of  General  Ledlie's  Brigade,  met  the  enemy  near  Ox  Ford.  It  was  engaged  at  Bethesda 
Church  May  31  and  at  Cold  Harbor  June  3;  participated  in  the  movements  of  the  following  days,  and,  crossing  the 
James  with  the  army  to  the  front  of  Petersburg,  took  active  part  in  the  assault  of  June  17  and  joined  in  the  siege 
operations. 

It  shared  with  the  9th  Corps  in  the  action  at  the  Crater  July  30,  forming  part  of  the  division  selected  to  lead  the 
advance  immediately  after  the  explosion  of  the  mine,  losing  many  as  prisoners,  in  addition  to  those  killed  and 
wounded.  It  took  part  in  the  movement  against  the  Weldon  Railroad  in  August,  sharing  in  the  engagement  of 
August  19,  and  was  present  at  the  battle  of  Peebles'  Farm,  or  Poplar  Spring  Church,  September  30.  Participating  in 
all  the  duties  of  the  siege  during  the  autumn  and  winter,  it  took  active  part  in  the  assault  of  April  1,  1865,  when, 
located  near  the  Jerusalem  Plank  Road,  it  held  with  the  5th  Mass.  Battery  an  important  position  throughout  the 
day  in  the  line  of  Confederate  works.  Encamping  at  Burkesville  after  the  fall  of  Petersburg,  it  moved  after  Lee's 
surrender  to  Alexandria  and  was  stationed  thero  during  the  remainder  of  its  service.  It  was  mustered  out  July  12 
and  paid  off  and  discharged  at  Readville,  Mass.,  July  22,  1865.

The  57th  Mass.  Infantry,  second  of  the  four  veteran  regiments,  was  organized  in  the  autumn  and  winter  of 
1863-64  by  Col.  William  F.  Bartlett  of  the  49th  Infantry,  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  who  became  colonel  of  this 
regiment  and  afterwards  brevet  major-general  U.  S.  Volunteers.  It  was  recruited  largely  in  Worcester,  Hampden 
and  Berkshire  counties,  and  nearly  all  of  the  officers  had  seen  active  service  in  other  organizations.  Co.  A  was 
mustered  into  service  Jan.  4, 1864,  and  the  remaining  companies  before  the  6th  of  April.  The  regiment  left  the 
State  April  18,  1864,  and,  encamping  at  Annapolis,  Md.,  was  assigned  to  the  1st  Brigade,  1st  Division,  9th  Corps, 
and,  moving  at  once  to  the  front,  encamped  at  the  Rappahannock.  Moving  through  Brandy  Station  and  Germania 
Ford,  it  engaged  on  the  morning  of  May  6  at  the  battle  of  the  Wilderness  with  great  loss.  Colonel  Bartlett  being 
wounded  early  in  the  engagement,  the  command  was  assumed  by  Lieutenant-Colonel  Chandler.  Moving  to  Spotsyl- 
vania  Court  House,  the  regiment  took  part  in  a  reconnoiesance  on  May  10,  when  its  division  commander,  General 
Stevenson,  was  killed.  As  part  of  the  Ninth  Corps,  it  supported  General  Hancock  in  the  charge  made  by  his  corps 
at  Spotsylvania  Court  House  early  in  the  morning  of  May  12,  and  held  an  advanced  position  during  the  day  and 
until  May  18,  taking  part  on  that  day  in  a  reconnoissance  on  the  enemy's  position.  At  the  North  Anna  River, 
May  24,  the  regiment  suffered  heavily,  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  Chandler  was  mortally  wounded,  dying  in  the  hands 
of  the  enemy  a  few  hours  after  the  engagement.  It  engaged  in  action  at  Cold  Harbor  June  3,  and,  crossing  the 
James  River  June  15,  took  part  in  the  assault  of  Petersburg  June  17,  under  Capt.  J.  M.  Tucker,  who  was  wounded. 
As  part  of  the  1st  Division,  9th  Corps,  the  regiment  led  in  the  assault  at  the  Crater,  July  30.  It  engaged  at  the 
Weldon  Railroad  in  August,  at  Peebles'  Farm  in  September  and  at  the  Weldon  Railroad  again  in  February,  1865, 
and  in  the  final  operations  about  Petersburg.  It  entered  the  city  after  its  fall  and  eucamped  in  the  vicinity,  moving 
afterward  to  the  Southside  Railroad.  After  Lee's  surrender  it  moved  toward  Washington  and  encamped  near 
Tenallytown.  On  June  20  the  57th  and  59th  regiments  were  consolidated  as  the  57th  Infantry,  to  take  effect  from 
June  1.  It  was  mustered  out  of  service  July  30,  1865,  and,  reaching  Readville,  Mass.,  August  3,  wae  paid  off  and 
discharged  Aug.  9,  1865.

The  58th  Mass.  Infantry  (Third  Veteran  Regiment)  was  the  last  three  years'  infantry  organization  from  Massa 
chusetts  to  be  mustered  into  the  United  States  service  and  to  leave  the  State  for  the  front.  Although  recruiting  for 
the  regiment  began  in  September,  1863,  only  eight  companies  were  filled  and  mustered  when  the  command  left  the 
State  on  April  28,  1864.  Col.  Silas  P.  Richmond  of  the  3d  Infantry,  Mass.  Volunteer  Militia,  was  commissioned 
colonel  of  the  regiment  Sept.  28,  1863,  but,  resigning  before  muster,  the  organization  was  under  command  of  Lieut.- 
Col.  John  C.  Whiton  during  its  entire  service.  It  reached  Alexandria  April  30,  moving  May  2  to  Bristoe  Station, 
where  it  was  assigned  to  the  1st  Brigade,  2d  Division,  9th  Corps.  It  was  engaged  on  the  afternoon  of  May  6  at  the 
Wilderness,  and,  moving  to  Spotsylvania,  took  part  in  the  assault  of  May  12  and  in  frequent  skirmishes  during  the 
succeeding  days.  It  shared  in  the  movements  to  the  North  Anna  and  Totopotomoy  rivers,  and,  reaching  Cold  Har 
bor,  joined  in  the  assault  on  June  3,  holding  an  advanced  position  during  the  day,  with  heavy  loss.  While  located  in 
front  of  Cold  Harbor,  Co.  I  joined  the  regiment  from  Massachusetts.  Moving  with  the  army  to  Petersburg,  the  com 
mand  took  part  in  the  assault  of  June  17  and  in  the  movement  at  the  Norfolk  and  Petersburg  Railroad  on  the  next  day. 
As  part  of  the  9th  Corps  it  shared  in  the  advance  into  the  Crater  after  the  explosion  of  the  mine,  July  30,  losing  three 
officers  and  eighty-one  men  taken  prisoners,  besides  those  killed  and  mortally  wounded.  At  the  battle  of  Poplar 
Spring  Church,  Sept.  30, 1864,  all  but  one  officer  and  about  ten  men  of  those  engaged  were  made  prisoners.  Gaining  a 
few  men  by  those  returning  from  detached  service  and  by  recruits,  the  command  was  placed  at  Hancock  Station,  and 
shared  in  picket  and  fatigue  duty  during  the  remainder  of  the  year.  In  February,  1865,  Co.  K  arrived  from  Massa 
chusetts.  The  regiment  took  part  in  the  assault  of  Petersburg  April  2,  and  after  its  fall  was  stationed  at  Burkes- 
ville  and  Farmville.  Returning,  it  reached  Alexandria  April  28,  and  encamped  in  the  vicinity  until  the  expiration  of 
its  term  of  service.  Reaching  Readville,  Mass.,  July  18,  it  was  paid  off  and  discharged  July  26,  1865.

The  59th  Mass.  Infantry  (Fourth  Veteran  Regiment)  was  recruited  and  organized  at  Readville  with  the  other 
veteran  regiments  in  the  winter  of  1863-64,  and,  completing  the  organization  of  its  ten  companies,  it  left  the  State 
April  28,  two  days  in  advance  of  the  58th  Infantry.  Reaching  Washington,  it  moved  through  Bealton  and  Rappa- 
hannock  stations  to  Germania  Ford,  and,  assigned  to  the  1st  Brigade,  1st  Division,  9th  Corps,  engaged  in  the  battle 
of  the  Wilderness  ten  days  after  leaving  the  State.  Under  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Hodges  (Colonel  Gould 
being  in  charge  of  the  brigade),  the  regiment  took  part  in  the  charge  at  Spotsylvania  Court  House  May  12.  It 
shared  in  the  action  and  loss  of  its  division  at  the  North  Anna  River  May  24,  in  the  movement  to  Cold  Harbor  and 
in  the  assault  of  June  3.  At  Petersburg,  June  17,  it  made  a  successful  assault  upon  the  enemy's  works,  though 
suffering  loss.  Its  brigade  led  the  advance  into  the  Crater  July  30  and  the  regiment  lost  in  the  action  its  two  highest 
olncers,  as  Colonel  Gould  in  command  of  a  brigade  was  wounded,  from  the  effects  of  which  he  died  August  22,  and 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Hodgee,  in  command  of  the  regiment,  was  killed.  It  was  engaged  in  the  movement  against  the 
Weldon  Railroad  in  August  and  in  the  battle  of  Peebles'  Farm,  or  Poplar  Spring  Church,  September  30.  Taking 
part  in  the  siege  during  the  autumn  and  winter,  the  regiment,  under  command  of  Major  Gould,  took  active  part 
at  Fort  Stedman,  March  25,  and,  passing  through  Petersburg  after  the  surrender,  encamped  in  the  vicinity  for  a 
few  days  and  was  stationed  afterward  on  guard  duty  at  the  Southside  Railroad.  It  was  ordered  to  Washington  in 
the  latter  part  of  April,  and  encamped  at  Tenallytown  during  the  remainder  of  its  service.  On  June  20  the  regiment 
was  consolidated  with  the  57th  Mass.  Infantry,  to  take  effect  from  June  1,  and  was  mustered  out  with  that  organiza 
tion  July  30,  being  discharged  at  Readville,  Mass.,  Aug.  9,  1865.
